Define MS specific modifiers

I created a Hello World project with the Visual C++ toolchain and
noticed that endl was not resolved (with codan). I think some MS specific
modifiers can be defined safely as empty symbols to improve parsing:

__cdecl
__fastcall
__restrict
__sptr
__stdcall
__unaligned
__uptr
__w64

see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/6bh0054z(v=VS.80).aspx

__based will need to be handled differently though. __declspec is already handled by the parser.

Defining these symbols brings the result of indexing from 936 unresolved names
(2.20%) to 111 unresolved names (0.26%) for a Hello World project.
