about sizes of integers on the DEC Alpha architecture.

I just checked build logs from my features package at

	https://www.math.utah.edu/pub/features/

and found that sizeof(int) is 4 on NetBSD 9.2 and 10.0, and on Debian
11 and 12.

sizeof(long int) and sizeof(long long int) on those systems is 8, and
sizeof(short) is 2.

Our last physical Alpha boxes were retired more than a decade ago, but
I still have Alpha virtual machines in our test lab.  I also checked
my oldest build logs for features-1.00 in March 2003, and found on our
physical Alpha server running OSF/1 that the sizes agree with those
reported above.
