stdio.h: don't expose rsize_t unless __EXT1_VISIBLE

<stdio.h> should not unconditionally declare rsize_t; this patch fixes that by
wrapping the typedef inside an `#if __EXT1_VISIBLE`, which is how it's done in
<stddef.h>, <stdlib.h>, and <string.h>.

In C99, rsize_t is not a reserved identifier.  (POSIX reserves *_t, but in C99,
there's no global *_t reservation; only int*_t and uint*_t in <stdint.h>.)

As such, technically speaking this should compile:

```
$ cat conflict.c 
#include <stdio.h>
typedef int rsize_t;
$ c99 -c conflict.c 
conflict.c:2:13: error: typedef redefinition with different types ('int' vs
'size_t' (aka 'unsigned long'))
    2 | typedef int rsize_t;
      |             ^
/usr/include/stdio.h:55:16: note: previous definition is here
   55 | typedef size_t rsize_t;
      |                ^
1 error generated.
```

- Good example: adding `typedef size_t rsize_t;` to <stddef.h> and <stdlib.h>
