Subject: build: assume `stdint.h`
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=feb52be197c695fa783d68c11924f474c2add6b7;p=thirdparty%2Fcurl.git

build: assume `stdint.h`

curl requires `stdint.h` from C99, and no longer builds without it since
v8.18.0 (after dropping VS2008 support). Assume it's available, drop
feature checks.

Also:
- drop duplicate `stdint.h` includes.
- introduce internal `HAVE_UINTPTR_T`, enabled by default.
- OS400: disable `HAVE_UINTPTR_T`.
- build: keep cmake pre-fill and `cmp-config.pl` exception because cmake
  and autotools both detect `stdint.h` implicitly.
