flex_array: convert element_nr formals to unsigned

Browse source 
It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as
part of the flex array API.

flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative
quantity, which is obviously erroneous.

flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in
dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before
struct flex_array.

The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as
unsigned.  Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max
array size based on element_size need not be changed.
