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.
For Debian the rules file is the main makefile and assuming that a upstream
makefile will mangle the Debian packaging files creates false alerts
from static analysis tools and other problems.
Fix all cmake tests (including plugin) to use
MY_CHECK_AND_SET_COMPILER_FLAG. And fix that function
to be compatible with cmake 3.0. This way flag checks
are correctly cached (even in cmake 3.0) and properly reused.
