Backport of #1002
Note: this one has an extra commit with the same changes to some files that weren't generated back in 0.103 days when using Visual Studio.
json-c 0.17 defines the ssize_t type using a typedef on Windows. We have been setting ssize_t for Windows to a different type using a #define instead of a typedef.
We should have been using a typedef since it is a type. However, we must also match the exact type they're setting it to or else the compiler will baulk because the types are different.
Note: in C11, it's fine to use typedef the same type more than once, so long as you're defining it the same every time.
