rtapi_limits.h: define INT_MIN and friends portably
...
A quick check in LXR shows that in 2.6.28 and in 3.3 (and presumably the
intervening version), <linux/kernel.h> defines a dozen integer limit
macros including INT_MIN.

hal: Introduce hal_bool, use it for hal_bit_t
...
The C99 _Bool type and the C++ bool type have an advantage over other
integral types: they only have two distinct values. Expressions like
'b1 == b2', 'b1 << 3' and 'b1 ^ b2' behave like you would expect a
boolean type to behave, rather than having the problems that result from
using an integral type with more than two distinct values.

rtapi_math64.h: division and remainder of 64-bit quantities
...
this is frequently desirable, but merely writing the obvious
x % y formulation can lead to the 'undefined symbol __umoddi3'
error.
Linux provides some routines to do division of 64-bit quantities
by 32-bit divisors; adopt this in rtapi, and provide a version written
in the obvious way when in userspace.

Remove outdated warning about rtapi_get_time

The current implementation in rtai returns accurate times without
much overhead (hundreds of ns at worst, according to measurements by
Andy Pugh). Remove this superstitious advice.
