When compiling for x64, Visual Studio 2019's Code Analysis produces the following warnings:
C:\Projects\gnu-efi\lib\print.c(1380): warning C26451: Arithmetic overflow: Using operator '+' on a 4 byte value and then casting the result to a 8 byte value. Cast the value to the wider type before calling operator '+' to avoid overflow (io.2).
C:\Projects\gnu-efi\lib\smbios.c(47): warning C26451: Arithmetic overflow: Using operator '+' on a 4 byte value and then casting the result to a 8 byte value. Cast the value to the wider type before calling operator '+' to avoid overflow (io.2).
C:\Projects\gnu-efi\lib\str.c(289): warning C26451: Arithmetic overflow: Using operator '-' on a 4 byte value and then casting the result to a 8 byte value. Cast the value to the wider type before calling operator '-' to avoid overflow (io.2).
Fix these by adding an explicit cast to UINTN.

Subject: [PATCH] fixes for MSVC compilation
These fixes are needed to address the following error and warnings when compiling the library part
using Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition (as in https://github.com/pbatard/uefi-simple):
* "lib\x86_64\math.c(49): error C4235: nonstandard extension used : '_asm' keyword not supported
on this architecture"
* "lib\print.c(98): error C2059: syntax error : '('" due to placement of EFIAPI macro
* "lib\cmdline.c(94): warning C4090: 'function' : different 'const' qualifiers"
* "lib\smbios.c(25): warning C4068: unknown pragma"
* Also update macro definitions in "inc\<arch>\efibind.h" for MSVC
