Hi,

this patch series addresses the issues raised in [1] and [2]. As
discussed in [1], the series also introduces a couple of safeguards to
make it harder to misuse `OPT_INTEGER()` and `OPT_MAGNITUDE()`:

  - We now track the precision of the underlying integer types. This
    makes it possible to pass arbitrarily-sized integers to those
    options, not only `int` and `unsigned long`, respectively.

  - We introduce a build assert to verify that the passed variable has
    correct signedness.

Furthermore, the series introduces `OPT_UNSIGNED()` to adapt all
callsites that previously used variables with the wrong signedness.

Thanks!

Patrick
