Adjust MemSet macro to use size_t rather than long

Likewise for MemSetAligned.

"long" wasn't the most suitable type for these macros as with MSVC in
64-bit builds, sizeof(long) == 4, which is narrower than the processor's
word size, therefore these macros had to perform twice as many loops as
they otherwise might.
