When the argument to a directive with a length modifier like %lu
in a call to a GCC diagnostic function such as warning()) is not
of the right integer type, GCC suggests to replace the length
modifier in the directive with 'w'.  For instance:

   warning: format ‘%lu’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, 
but argument 2 has type ‘int’ [-Wformat=]
    f ("%lu", 0);
        ~~^
        %wu

To issue the right hint (i.e., %u in the message above) the attached
patch introduces a new format_lengths enumerator to represent the 'w'
modifier.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
