[reSIProcate] IPv6 on 64 bit

[Byron Campen]

To maintain source compat, we shouldn't undef the stuff we have. First, we
should ensure that the c++-11 types are defined one way or another, and
then typedef the old resip int types based on the standard types. Then,
begin converting the resip codebase over to the standard ones entirely
(easily scriptable, and not likely to result in funny stuff like "this
std::vector of conditions" in a license block).

Best regards,
Byron Campen
