tiocswinsz: fix compilation error on e.g. ppc64

Browse source 
On some platforms, TIOCSWINSZ has a very large value, >
0x80000000.

On some platforms, the `request` argument to `ioctl(3)` is an `int`.

For platforms where both of the above is true, gcc will warn (and
error out if compiled with `-Werror`) on:

  ioctl(fd, TIOCSWINSZ, ...)

To silence this warning, we need to cast `TIOCSWINSZ` to an
integer.

However, doing this on platforms where `request` is an `unsigned long`
will result in `TIOCSWINSZ` being sign-extended (and thus we end up
with an invalid value).

It seems that casting to `unsigned int` works in both cases; it
silences the long -> int conversion warning, while also preserving the
correct value in all cases.
