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.
