C Type aliases should not emit a typedef, they should rewrite

[hellerve]

Currently, when we do a type alias in register-type this emits a typedef, i.e.

; we already have a type for that, but its a great example
(register-type Bit8 "uint8_t")

This will emit:

typedef uint8_t Bit8;

This is problematic since it might clash with existing C names. We should rewrite all occurrences of that type to the corresponding C type, instead, as we do with functions registered with register.

This is relatively beginner-to-intermediate-friendly, but not really a good first issue. It might take a while to figure out!

Great point!
