HACKING: document #include order

Browse Source 
It was not obvious to me why "qemu/osdep.h" must be the first #include.
This documents the rationale and the overall #include order.

For variadic macros, stick with this C99-like syntax:
#define DPRINTF(fmt, ...) \
do { printf("IRQ: " fmt, ## __VA_ARGS__); } while (0)
1.2. Include directives
Order include directives as follows:
#include "qemu/osdep.h" /* Always first... */
#include <...> /* then system headers... */
#include "..." /* and finally QEMU headers. */
The "qemu/osdep.h" header contains preprocessor macros that affect the behavior
of core system headers like <stdint.h>. It must be the first include so that
core system headers included by external libraries get the preprocessor macros
that QEMU depends on.
Do not include "qemu/osdep.h" from header files since the .c file will have
already included it.
2. C types
It should be common sense to use the right type, but we have collected
