firmware should always have been -ffreestanding, as it doesn't execute in the
host environment.

inttypes.h isn't a freestanding header, but the 32bitbios_support.c only wants
the stdint.h types so switch to the more appropriate include.

This removes the build time dependency on a 32bit libc just to compile the
hvmloader and friends.

Update README and the TravisCI configuration.

For 4.15.  Build tested in Travis (Ubuntu) and XenServer (CentOS) - no change
in the compiled HVMLoader binary.  I'm currently rebuilding the containers
locally to check Arch, Debian and OpenSUSE, but don't anticipate any problems.

This does not resolve the build issue on Alpine.  Exactly what to do there is
still TBC, but Roger has opened a bug with Apline concerning their GCC
packaging.
