No gtk::StaticType for u16/i16?

[swsnr]

I incidentally noticed that [StaticType] isn't implemented for i16 and u16:

Didn't affect me much, I just changed to i32 instead, but I'm still curious why 8, 32, and 64 bit integers have a static type, but 16 bit ones don't? Is this just oversight, or is there a specific reason?

GObject does not provide a GType for 16 bit integers, only for 8 bit (char / uchar), 32 bit (int / uint) and 64 bit (int64 / uint64). If GObject adds types for 16 bit integers we can support them here too.
