Log message:
	Change IPNet<A>::_prefix_len type from size_t to uint32_t.
	
	Propagate change such that uint32_t is used for all IP bit related
	operations.  This avoids any size_t <-> uint32_t conversions.  NB
	arguments and return types for operations relating to to byte sizes
	remain of type size_t.
	
	Rationale: size_t can be 64bits on a 64bit platform, which is
	excessive for an 8bit number.  Whilst size_t is defined to be unsigned
	in C99, there are platforms that still use a signed value.  This makes
	format strings difficult since %z format argument is not widely enough
	deployed to be useful today.
