host-utils: Proactively fix pow2floor(), switch to unsigned

The function's stated contract is simple enough: "round down to the
nearest power of 2".  Suggests the domain is the representable numbers
>= 1, because that's the smallest power of two.

The implementation doesn't check for domain errors, but returns
garbage instead:

* For negative arguments, pow2floor() returns -2^63, which is not even
  a power of two, let alone the nearest one.

  What sort of works is passing *unsigned* arguments >= 2^63.  The
  implicit conversion to signed is implementation defined, but
  commonly yields the (negative) two's complement.  pow2floor() then
  returns -2^63.  Callers that convert that back to unsigned get the
  correct value 2^63.

* For a zero argument, pow2floor() shifts right by 64.  Undefined
  behavior.  Common actual behavior is to shift by 0, yielding -2^63.

Fix by switching from int64_t to uint64_t and amending the contract to
map zero to zero.

Callers are fine with that:

* memory_access_size()

  This function makes no sense unless the argument is positive and the
  return value fits into int.

* raw_refresh_limits()

  Passes an int between 1 and BDRV_REQUEST_MAX_BYTES.

* iscsi_refresh_limits()

  Passes an integer between 0 and INT_MAX, converts the result to
  uint32_t.  Passing zero would be undefined behavior, but commonly
  yield zero.  The patch gives us the zero without the undefined
  behavior.

* cache_init()

  Passes a positive int64_t argument.

* xbzrle_cache_resize()

  Passes a positive int64_t argument (>= TARGET_PAGE_SIZE, actually).

* spapr_node0_size()

  Passes a positive uint64_t argument, and converts the result to
  hwaddr, i.e. uint64_t.

* spapr_populate_memory()

  Passes a positive hwaddr argument, and converts the result to
  hwaddr.
