Josh Triplett 335c9609c6 Provide C FFI types via core::ffi, not just in std 
The ability to interoperate with C code via FFI is not limited to crates
using std; this allows using these types without std.

The existing types in `std::os::raw` become type aliases for the ones in
`core::ffi`. This uses type aliases rather than re-exports, to allow the
std types to remain stable while the core types are unstable.

This also moves the currently unstable `NonZero_` variants and
`c_size_t`/`c_ssize_t`/`c_ptrdiff_t` types to `core::ffi`, while leaving
them unstable.

Equivalent to C's unsigned int type.

This type will almost always be [u32], but may differ on some esoteric systems. The C standard technically only requires that this type be an unsigned integer with the same size as an int; some systems define it as a [u16], for example.
