[Bug ld/6502] New: image-base and enable-auto-image_base restricted to 32 bits

[nightstrike at gmail dot com]

ld supports the --image-base and associated options to control DLL addresses.  
They are represented as type 'long', however, which is 32bits on both 32-bit 
and 64-bit versions of Windows.  On 64-bit versions of Windows, long is still 
32 bits while pointers are 64 bits.  A more appropriate type should be used 
that is cross platform between the two.

Without this change, dll's cannot be based appropriately.  binutils 2.18 
supports 64-bit windows, so this affects 2.18 and 2.19(HEAD).
