Visual C++ 2008 support: Add note in README.txt

Tell people that they need to get a stdint.h implementation for Visual C++
2008 for use with Cogl-master/1.99.x+, and where they can obtain such an
implementation.

This is not needed for Visual C++ 2010 as it ships with stdint.h by
default.

As Cogl 1.99.x and later will now use C99 types in lieu of GLib types, a
compatible implementation of stdint.h for Visual C++ is required, such
as the one from http://code.google.com/p/msinttypes/, so one would need
to download and extract the .zip file from that website and extract stdint.h
into <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\include or somewhere where it can be
automatically found by the compiler. Note that Visual C++ 2010 and later
ships with stdint.h, so it is only required for Visual C++ 2008 builds.
