Introduce print helper functions for int, uint, explicit int32, uint32,
int64 & uint64.

print_int used 'int' type internally, whereas print_uint used 'uint64_t'

These helper functions eventually call vfprintf(fp, fmt, args) which is
a variable argument list function and is dependent upon 'fmt' containing
correct information about the length of the passed arguments.

Unfortunately print_int v print_uint offered no clue to the programmer
that internally passed ints to print_uint were being promoted to 64bits,
thus the format passed in 'fmt' string vs the actual passed integer
could be different lengths.  This is even more interesting on big endian
architectures where 'vfprintf' would be looking in the middle of an
int64 type.

print_u/int now stick with native int size.  print_u/int32 & print
u/int64 functions offer explicit integer sizes.

To portably use these formats you should use the relevant PRIdN or PRIuN
formats as defined in inttypes.h

e.g.

print_uint64(PRINT_ANY, "refcnt", "refcnt %" PRIu64 " ", t->tcm_info)
