[m-dev.] __fastcall convention

[Peter Ross]

For use with the MLDS, we should look at the performance increase for
the following:

#ifdef _MSC_VER
  #define CALLING_CONVENTION __fastcall
#else
  #define CALLING_CONVENTION
#endif

void CALLING_CONVENTION some_mercury_function()
{
}

Anything whose name is exported using pragma export should probably be

void exported_function_name()
{
    some_mercury_function();
}

with the standard calling convention.
