Feature/uint int definition (#954)

* * Moved CPU determination macros to slang.h
* Determine SlangUInt/SlangInt from the pointer width (determined from CPU macros)
* Removed the UnambiguousInt and UnambigousUInt types - as a previous fragile work around

* Removed UInt/Int definition from smart-pointer.h as now in common.h

* * Remove ambiguity for PrettyWriter and ints
* Improve comment around SlangInt/UInt

* More fixes around ambiguity with PrettyWriter and integral types.

* Disable VK on OSX.

* Force CI to rebuild as spurious error.
