apr-delete-APR_CHECK_SIZEOF_EXTENDED.patch

APR_CHECK_SIZEOF_EXTENDED was written to work around deficiencies in old versions of AC_CHECK_SIZEOF.  autoconf has since improved significantly.  looks like the release is using autoconf-2.69, so it shouldn't be a big problem to update things.

specifically, AC_CHECK_SIZEOF supports non-native types (ones that are defined in headers and not the compiler itself), and it supports detecting the size even when cross-compiling.

the attached patch against trunk should do the trick.

Added to trunk in r 1871980.

Backported to apr v1.7 in r 1871981.
