RFC: int/uint portability to 16-bit CPUs

Both Issue #14758 and Issue #9940 call for RFCs.

This RFC summarizes those discussions, explains the core issue of
code portability to 16-bit CPUs (also of 64-bit code to 32-bit CPUs),
explains what's meant by "default" integer types, makes 2 specific
proposals, and proposes coding style for integer sizing.
Aha! Nice insight, @glaebhoerl.

I'll make the style guide recommendation conditional on overflow-checking.

Q. Does/will overflow checking happen during conversion between integer types?
