If there's any of the following left, maybe they can be changed at the same time:

jsdouble -> double
JSIntn -> int
JSUintn -> unsigned
JSPackedBool -> bool
jsrefcount -> unsigned
jsint -> int32_t (or int)
jsuint -> uint32_t (or unsigned)
int{8,16,32,64} -> int{8,16,32,64}_t
uint{8,16,32,64} -> uint{8,16,32,64}_t
JSInt{8,16,32,64} -> int{8,16,32,64}_t
JSUint{8,16,32,64} -> uint{8,16,32,64}_t

Looking at the bug and patch, it looks like an internal SpiderMonkey change only that should have no impact on JS code.
Looks like Jeff Walden already documented the change at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey/1.8.8#typedef_Changes

Needinfo'ing Dave Mandelin who filed and fixed bug 730511. If the change was only internal and properly documented by Jeff, feel free to set this documentation as RESOLVED. Otherwise, can you describe how this bug affects JS code? Thanks!

It doesn't affect JS. It affects JSAPI documentation, such as:

Ok. Taking the freedom to change the Component then.

I've removed the few dozen left (I think Arai refactoring removed most of them beforehand).

If you find some left, feel free to fix them, or to file specific bugs; closing this.
