While I like the spirit of this patch, it makes the Windows build fail. I put this on top of Git for Windows' `shears/pu` branch to fix it (maybe you could adopt a variation of it?):

Subject: [PATCH] fixup??? gpg-interface: improve interface for parsing tags

In 3f69139fa39 (gpg-interface: improve interface for parsing tags, 2020-02-22), we introduce a call to `strbuf_detach()`. The second parameter of that function takes a pointer to the variable where the length of the string should be stored.

However, `strbuf_detach()` uses the 21st century data type `size_t`, while the existing code in `find_subpos()` uses the `unsigned long` data type that the 1980/1980 so desperately want back.

Unsurprisingly, this causes problems with the Windows build, where `sizeof(unsigned long) == 4` even in 64-bit builds (which, I feel the need to add, is totally legitimate).

We should probably change the data type to the correct one in a preparatory patch, before improving the interface for parsing tags.
