bug#17443: Don't assume 'unsigned' is exactly 32 bits wide

I installed the attached patches, which port GNU grep's DFA code to unusual platforms where 'int' is wider than 32 bits. A currently-produced example is the Unisys ClearPath MCP, where 'unsigned int' is 39 bits wide.

The 2nd patch is the real change; the other patches are minor cleanup. None of these changes should affect typical hosts where 'unsigned int' is 32 bits wide.

My source for that "39 bits" is page 4-490 of:
