[PATCH v4 14/16] builtin/patch-id: fix type of `get_one_patchid()`

In-Reply-To
<20241206-pks-sign-compare-v4-0-0344c6dfb219@pks.im>

In `get_one_patchid()` we assign either the result of `strlen()` or `remove_space()` to `len`. But while the former correctly returns a `size_t`, the latter returns an `int` to indicate the length of the stripped string even though it cannot ever return a negative value. This causes a warning with "-Wsign-conversion".

In fact, even `get_one_patchid()` itself is also using an integer as return value even though it always returns the length of the patch, and this bubbles up to other callers.

Adapt the function and its helpers to use `size_t` for string lengths consistently.
