MINOR: compat: add short aliases for a few very commonly used types

Very often we use "int" where negative numbers are not needed (and can
further cause trouble) just because it's painful to type "unsigned int"
or "unsigned", or ugly to use in function arguments. Similarly sometimes
chars would absolutely need to be signed but nobody types "signed char".
Let's add a few aliases for such types and make them part of the standard
internal API so that over time we can get used to them and get rid of
horrible definitions. A comment also reminds some commonly available
types and their properties regarding other types.
