Deprecate lnat, and use StgWord instead
lnat was originally "long unsigned int" but we were using it when we wanted a 64-bit type on a 64-bit machine. This broke on Windows x64, where long == int == 32 bits. Using types of unspecified size is bad, but what we really wanted was a type with N bits on an N-bit machine. StgWord is exactly that. lnat was mentioned in some APIs that clients might be using (e.g. StackOverflowHook()), so we leave it defined but with a comment to say that it's deprecated.
