[tor-bugs] #22410 [Core Tor/Tor]: ensure that uint8_t is unsigned char
#22410: ensure that uint8_t is unsigned char

------------------------------+--------------------------------
On a POSIX platform, uint8_t is required to exist, but not explicitly
required to be identical to unsigned char. It's theoretically possible
that a very unusual platform could have an extension integer type that it
defines as uint8_t. Test for this at configure time.
This supports an effort to move toward using uint8_t as the "byte" type in
preference to char (which is often a signed type and can cause bugs
related to signed arithmetic).
