gtls: fix build when sizeof(long) < sizeof(void *)



- Change gnutls pointer/int macros to pointer/curl_socket_t.
  Prior to this change they used long type as well.

The size of the `long` data type can be shorter than that of pointer
types. This is the case most notably on Windows.

If C99 were acceptable, we could simply use `intptr_t` here. But we
want to retain C89 compatibility.

Simply use the trick of performing pointer arithmetic with the NULL
pointer: to convert an integer `i` to a pointer, simply take the
address of the `i`th element of a hypothetical character array
starting at address NULL. To convert back, simply cast the pointer
difference.

Thanks to Jay Satiro for the initial modification to use curl_socket_t
instead of int/long.

Closes #1617
