manual: Rewrite the section on widths of integer types.
The manual contradicted itself by saying the number of bits in an
integer type needed to be computed, and then listing a number of
macros that later standards provided for exactly that. The entire
section has been reworked to provide those macros first, while
preserving the documentation of CHAR_BIT and the associated examples
within that context.
* manual/lang.texi
(Computing the Width of an Integer Data Type): Rename section
to "Width of an Integer Type". Remove inaccurate statement
regarding lack of C language facilities for determining width
of integer types, and reorder content to improve flow and
context of discussion.
