autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313

Christoph Reiter requested to merge autotools-remove-__int64 into master

__int64 was the 64bit type for Visual Studio before it added support for "long long" with VS2013. I think this was used to build glib with mingw and make the result usable for VS 6.0 which didn't support "long long" (??)

Given that newer MSVC links against a different crt and mixing is not supported and everything supports "long long" nowadays just remove it.

This is also a cleanup for printf format changes needed for #1497 (closed)
