hash algorithms: use size_t for section lengths

Continue walking the code path for the >4GB `hash-object --literally` test to the hash algorithm step for LLP64 systems. This patch lets the SHA1DC code use `size_t`, making it compatible with LLP64 data models (as used e.g. by Windows). The interested reader of this patch will note that we adjust the signature of the `git_SHA1DCUpdate()` function without updating _any_ call site. This certainly puzzled at least one reviewer already, so here is an explanation: This function is never called directly, but always via the macro `platform_SHA1_Update`, which is usually called via the macro `git_SHA1_Update`. However, we never call `git_SHA1_Update()` directly in `struct git_hash_algo`. Instead, we call `git_hash_sha1_update()`, which is defined thusly: static void git_hash_sha1_update(git_hash_ctx *ctx, const void *data, size_t len) { git_SHA1_Update(&ctx->sha1, data, len); } i.e. it contains an implicit downcast from `size_t` to `unsigned long` (before this here patch). With this patch, there is no downcast anymore. With this patch, finally, the t1007-hash-object.sh "files over 4GB hash literally" test case is fixed.
