Added 8-bit and 16-bit int vec types

[tomc1998]

These are useful for 2d/3d grid based systems, e.g. a position within a minecraft voxel chunk only requires a vec3ui8

Once you've got a couple entities you start to see real cache performance improvements if you're shrinking your vector type by 4x

I have to think a bit about this. Generally speaking I totally agree this is useful. I just don't know if I like the names, as they are not consistent with the existing name schema. I like your name schema, but with it, I would need to rename everything. Do you think just exporting the template that generates all the types would be good enough for you?

Probably not for me personally, i just use my glm fork, i don't want to have to remember which module contains which vector type

what about vec2s/vec2us & vec2b/vec2ub?

Yes that is probably a good idea.

what about vec2s/vec2us & vec2b/vec2ub?

I thought about it as well until I realized that vec2b is already a boolean vector.

vec2c for char?

I decided to stay undecided on this. Since you got your solution for your project fast resolution isn't important. If you get other people to agree that this is a good idea, I will go with it..
