Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
Significantly reduce the amount of InnoDB, XtraDB and Mariabackup
code changes by defining pfs_os_file_t as something that is
transparently compatible with os_file_t.
