[DSE][NFC] Need to be carefull mixing signed and unsigned types

Currently in some places we use signed type to represent size of an access and put explicit casts from unsigned to signed.
For example: int64_t EarlierSize = int64_t(Loc.Size.getValue());

Even though it doesn't loos bits (immidiatly) it may overflow and we end up with negative size. Potentially that cause later code to work incorrectly. A simple expample is a check that size is not negative.

I think it would be safer and clearer if we use unsigned type for the size and handle it appropriately.
