When printing variables which contains a size, today "unsigned long"

In order to be able to change the type from "unsigned long" into size_t
some day the future, we need to have a way to print 64 bit variables

on a system that has "unsigned long" defined to be 32 bit, link Win64.

Upcast all those variables into uintmax_t before they are printed.
This is to prepare for a bigger change, when "unsligned long"

s/unsligned/unsigned/

will be converted into size_t for variables which may be > 4Gib.
