Summary: Some LONG options using va_arg with int

Initial Comment:
I noticed a possible 64-bit bug in libcurl in some of the option setting code where it calls va_arg with "int" as the type of the parameter to pull off the stack. See examples like CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT and, CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE.

This probably works fine until you hit a 64-bit platform where sizeof(long) != sizeof(int). The libcurl docs say that all the "integral" options that aren't large offsets take a long parameter, so if I pass in a long, the code really needs to read a long off the stack, not an int.
