new type: ptraddr_t
ptraddr_t is an unsigned integer type that can hold the address of any pointer. It differes from uintptr_t in that it does not carry provenance which is useful for CHERI in that it can disambigurate the provenance of uintptr_t expressions. It differes from size_t in that some segmented architecture (not supported by FreeBSD) may have a size_t that does not hold an address. ptraddr_t is not yet standardized, but is currently proposed for inclusion in C++2Y. Prefer the compiler defined __PTRADDR_TYPE__ defintion where available as this a new type and we don't need to worry about historical values. Fall back to __size_t where unavailable.
