Re: pg_verifybackup: TAR format backup verification

The 32-bit buildfarm animals don't like this too much [1]:

astreamer_verify.c: In function 'member_verify_checksum':
astreamer_verify.c:297:68: error: format '%zu' expects argument of type 'size_t', but argument 6 has type 'uint64' {aka 'long long unsigned int'} [-Werror=format=]

  299 |        m->size, mystreamer->checksum_bytes);

      |                           uint64 {aka long long unsigned int}

Now, manifest_file.size is in fact a size_t, so %zu is the correct
format spec for it.  But astreamer_verify.checksum_bytes is declared
uint64.  This leads me to question whether size_t was the correct
choice for manifest_file.size.  If it is, is it OK to use size_t
for checksum_bytes as well?  If not, your best bet is likely
to write %lld and add an explicit cast to long long, as we do in
dozens of other places.  I see that these messages are intended to be
translatable, so INT64_FORMAT is not usable here.

Aside from that, I'm unimpressed with expending a five-line comment
at line 376 to justify casting control_file_bytes to int, when you
could similarly cast it to long long, avoiding the need to justify
something that's not even in tune with project style.
