[PATCH v3 1/6] apply: correct type misuse in `apply.h`

There are a few `int` fields of structs in `apply.h` that are only used as unsigned integer and are only assigned unsigned integer value. Some of these misuse of `int` type would cause -Wsign-comparison warnings.

Fix this by
  - change `apply_state::max_change`'s type to `unsigned int` since it's
    just a counter of lines
  - change `apply_state::max_len`'s type to `size_t` since it's storing
    a length
  - change `patch::lines_added/deleted`'s types to `unsigned int` since
    they are just counters of lines
  - change the types of relevant variables in function `show_stats` and
    `patch_stats`

Note that `printf`'s format string requires us to do some typecast (from `size_t` to `int`) on `max` in function `show_stats`. This is safe because we already set a upper bound of `50` for `max` before the cast.
