bfd_size_type to size_t

bfd_size_type was invented a long time ago in the K&R days.  Many
places in binutils ought to be using size_t instead (and there are
lots of places that use long or unsigned long that really ought to use
size_t too).  Note that you can't change everything over to size_t: A
32-bit host needs a larger type than size_t to support reading and
processing of 64-bit ELF object files.  This patch just tidies some
of the more obvious uses of bfd_size_type that could be size_t.  There
no doubt are more lurking in the source.  Incidentally, practically
all functions used for output of object files can use size_t and don't
need to worry about overflow of size expressions.  If you have
something like
  symcount * sizeof (void *)
when symcount is counting symbols already in memory then you know that
this expression can't overflow since the size of a symbol in memory is
larger by far than that of a pointer.
