Fix 18 exabyte memory allocation failure
The new_binary() function takes a size argument that is an int. In the 64-bit emulator (sizeof(int) == 4, sizeof(Uint) == 8), any sizes >= 0x8000000 become 0xffffffff80000000 and above and triggers a memory allocation failure. Change the type of the size argument to Uint, and change any callers that cast the argument to an int. Correction-by: Jon Meredith
