[PATCH v4] docs/misra: document the expected sizes of integer types

[Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Xen makes assumptions about the size of integer types on the various
architectures. Document these assumptions.

Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxx>

Changes in v4:
- list the architectures explicitly
- add ARMv7-A
