SWIG: Ensure ptrdiff_t is a known type in gcc >= 4.6.1
This patch fixes a compilation error that occurs with gcc >= 4.6.1, caused by swig not including cstddef and not using the std:: namespace prefix for ptrdiff_t. There is an old patch, http://reviews.m5sim.org/r/913/ that no longer applies cleanly and this might be re-iterating the same issue. We work around the problem by always enforcing the inclusion of cstddef in all swig interface declarations, and also by explicitly using std::ptrdiff_t.
