Ehsan Akhgari 3df4906bbd Bug 928091 - Fix builds for VS2012 and VS2013 to deal with our char16_t machinery; pending r=Waldo
Landing on a CLOSED TREE because this is blocking multiple people.  My apologies!

* C11 and C++11 introduce a char16_t type and support for UTF-16 string and
* character literals. C++11's char16_t is a distinct builtin type. C11's
* char16_t is a typedef for uint_least16_t. Technically, char16_t is a 16-bit
* code unit of a Unicode code point, not a "character".

* C++11 says char16_t is a distinct builtin type, but Windows's yvals.h
* typedefs char16_t as an unsigned short. We would like to alias char16_t
* to Windows's 16-bit wchar_t so we can declare UTF-16 literals as constant
* expressions (and pass char16_t pointers to Windows APIs). We #define
* _CHAR16T here in order to prevent yvals.h to override our char16_t
* typedefs, which we set to wchar_t for C++ code and to unsigned short for
* C code.
*
* In addition, #defining _CHAR16T will prevent yvals.h from defining a
* char32_t type, so we have to undo that damage here and provide our own,
* which is identical to the yvals.h type.
