We return the length to a subset of a string using an "int *"
out-parameter. This is fine most of the time, as we'd expect config keys
to be relatively short, but it could behave oddly if we had a gigantic
config key. A more appropriate type is size_t.
Let's switch over, which lets our callers use size_t as appropriate
(they are bound by our type because they must pass the out-parameter as
a pointer). This is mostly just a cleanup to make it clear this code
handles long strings correctly. In practice, our config parser already
chokes on long key names (because of a similar int/size_t mixup!).
When doing an int/size_t conversion, we have to be careful that nobody
was trying to assign a negative value to the variable. I manually
confirmed that for each case here. They tend to just feed the result to
xmemdupz() or similar; in a few cases I adjusted the parameter types for
helper functions to make sure the size_t is preserved.
