stdint: document issues with int_fast8_t etc.

* doc/posix-headers/stdint.texi (stdint.h): Say that other
stdint.h substitutes may define these types differently.  See

 @code{@{uint,int@}_fast@{8,16,32,64@}_t} may not correspond to the fastest
 types available on the system.
+Other @code{<stdint.h>} substitutes may define these types differently,
+so public header files should avoid these types.
 @item
 Macros are used instead of typedefs.
