move more limits from kernel.h to limits.h and standardize their definitions
In a customer project that was building a stand-alone application, I hit a problem related to the fact that our LONG_MAX and friends are not standards-compliant, in that they are not "suitable for use in #if preprocessing directives" ... /toolchain_none/arm-cortexa8-eabi/sys-include/machine/_default_types.h:25:31: error: missing binary operator before token "long" 25 | || ( defined(LLONG_MAX) && (LLONG_MAX > 0x7fffffff) ) | ^~~~~~~~~ So following up on commit 13de8483388 ("mbedtls: add mbedtls into the build system"), move the rest of the macros associated to the standard C types {signed,unsigned} {char, short, int, long, long long} (and of course bare 'char') to limits.h. Make use of the fact that both gcc and clang provide suitable predefined __FOO_MAX__ macros for the signed types, and use a standard scheme for defining the FOO_MIN and UFOO_MAX macros in terms of FOO_MAX. Note that suffixes like L and ULL are allowed for preprocessor integers; it is (casts) which are not. And using appropriate suffixes, we can arrange for the type of e.g. UINT_MAX to be "unsigned int" due to integer promotion rules. Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <ravi@prevas.dk>
