When dealing with 64-bit integers in JSON documents, blobmsg_parse
becomes useless as blobmsg-json only uses BLOBMSG_TYPE_INT64 if the
value exceeds the range of a 32-bit integer, otherwise
BLOBMSG_TYPE_INT32 is used. This is because blobmsg-json parses the
JSON document ad-hoc without knowing the schema in advance and hence
a result of the design of blobmsg-json (and the absence of JSON
schema definitions).
In practise, this made code less readable as instead of using
blobmsg_parse() one had to to deal with *all* attributes manually just
to catch fields which can be both, BLOBMSG_TYPE_INT32 or
BLOBMSG_TYPE_INT64, but are always dealt with as uint64_t in code as
they potentially could exceed the 32-bit range.
To resolve this issue, introduce as special wildcard attribute
type BLOBMSG_CAST_INT64 which should only be used in policies used
by blobmsg_parse(). If used for an attribute in the policy,
blobmsg_parse shall accept all integer types and allow the user
to retrieve the value using the uint64_t blobmsg_cast_u64() and
int64_t blobmsg_cast_s64() functions which is also introduced by this
commit.

Introduce _len variants of blobmsg attribute checking functions which
aims to provide safer implementation as those functions should limit all
memory accesses performed on the blob to the range [attr, attr + len]
(upper bound non inclusive) and thus should be suited for checking of
untrusted blob attributes.
While at it add some comments in order to make it clear.

blobmsg_check_attr_len adds a length limit specifying the max offset
from attr that can be read safely.

Before there might have been as little as one single byte left which
would result in 3 bytes of blob_attr->id_len being out of bounds.

This adds support for double floating point type to make it more JSON
compatible. For type checking it also adds a stub BLOB_ATTR_DOUBLE type.
If necessary, the accessor functions for blob can be added later

Consistently handle allocation failures. Some functions are changed to
return bool or int instead of void to allow returning an error.
Also fix a buffer size miscalculation in lua/uloop and use _exit() instead
of exit() on errors after forking.

This primarily helps with simplifying the ubus APIs.
blobmsg header presence is indicated by the BLOB_ATTR_EXTENDED bit in
the id_len field.
This changes the format ABI, but not the API.
