Nobody seems to feel strongly either way, so I looked again and
thought that using uint64 is nicer as the size of the type is
explicit. We do want a 64-bit type here, not something bigger, which
in theory, long long could be. The less readable format, IMO seemed
like an ok trade-off to be explicit about the type's size.

With that, I pushed the CATCACHE_STATS patch. I also pushed the
MemSet/MemSetAligned one too.

Thanks for looking.
