Getting the intptr_t type.

#1

Hello.

In ASTContext, we have methods such as
   QualType getSizeType() const
   QualType getPointerDiffType() const
   [...]
that query TargetInfo, but there seems to be no method named
   QualType getIntPtrType() const

Would it be OK to add it?

In this case, would it make sense to add a getUIntPtrType() for uintptr_t as well ?

It’s not strictly necessary because of getCorrespondingUnsignedType, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t add it. getIntPtrType definitely makes sense to me.

Here is the patch. OK to commit?

Please don't duplicate the comment in .cpp file. LGTM with that.
