Visual C++ 2008 support: Add note in README.txt

Tell people that they need to get a stdint.h implementation for Visual C++
2008 for use with Cogl-master/1.99.x+, and where they can obtain such an
implementation.

This is not needed for Visual C++ 2010 as it ships with stdint.h by
default.

 If building the SDL winsys is desired, you will also need the SDL libraries

 from www.libsdl.org-building the SDL source package with Visual C++ 2008

 is recommended (working Visual C++ 2005 projects are included with it, upgrade
