Replace io_list_len() with erts_iolist_size()
The io_list_len() function returns an int, where a negative return value indicates a type error. One problem is that an int only consists of 32 bits in a 64-bit emulator. Changing the return type to Sint will solve that problem, but in the 32-bit emulator, a large iolist and a iolist with a type error will both return a negative number. (Noticed by Jon Meredith.) Another problem is that for iolists whose total size exceed the word size, the result would be truncated, leading to a subsequent buffer overflow and emulator crash. Therefore, introduce the new erts_iolist_size() function which returns a status indication and writes the result size through a passed pointer. If the result size does not fit in a word, return an overflow indication.
