using std::FILE

Hi Torbjorn!
There's this line in gmp.h.
But std::FILE hasn't been defined and with a conforming C++ compiler it
won't be unless <cstdio> has been included before <gmp.h>. Note that
including <stdio.h> is not enough, as it doesn't define namespace std.
So, defined(__cplusplus) and including <stdio.h> is not enough to
guarantee that std::FILE is known to the compiler.
Apparently, the intent is to avoid including stdio.h or cstdio. Why? I
would suggest including it.
Besides, these using declarations are considered bad practice in header
files. It would be better defining GMP_FILE or similar to either expand
to FILE or std::FILE and use that instead of FILE.
Cheers
-richy.
