Here, the advice_setting[] is not an attacker controlled array with
an unbound size.  It is a known static array the program prepares.
Converting it to use size_t as an index is a totally pointless
churn.

Some of the changes in this patch may have merit, but seeing a
change like this as the first change in the iteration makes me lose
interest in reading this huge message that weighs more than 7000
lines.  If you are looking for "for (x = 0;" where x is declared of
any type other than size_t and blindly converting them, please stop.
