Add overloads for TexCoordPointer and NormalPointer

Description

GL.VertexPointer, GL.ColorPointer and GL.IndexPointer have an overload where the last parameter is an int, which is cast to an IntPtr internally. GL.TexCoordPointer and GL.NormalPointer should have equivalent overloads, but they are missing from the 1.0 beta branch. Also, it might be prudent to have a similar overload for GL.DrawElements as well.

A NormalPointer overload actually exists, but its signature is invalid. I am going to consider this a bug and fix it both in 1.0 and trunk.

Historic notes: these overloads were added at a time when passing an int would cause an immediate crash. Now that OpenTK is using generics rather than object parameters, you can no longer pass an int by mistake, making these overloads less useful.

Still, it would be nice to have symmetry in the bindings, which is why I am considering this a bug.
