[issue23488] Random objects twice as big as necessary on 64-bit builds

... and you can also re-read my explanations in that issue about why simply using uint32_t and int32_t doesn't work!  We need something like PY_UINT32_T (and co) for portability.

The only part of #17884 that's still valid is that it may well make sense to insist that exact-width 32-bit and 64-bit signed and unsigned integer types are available when building Python.
