Subject: lib/bootconfig: change xbc_node_index() return type to uint16_t

lib/bootconfig: change xbc_node_index() return type to uint16_t

  lib/bootconfig.c:136:21: warning: conversion from 'long int' to

xbc_node_index() returns the position of a node in the xbc_nodes array,
which has at most XBC_NODE_MAX (8192) entries, well within uint16_t
range.  Every caller stores the result in a uint16_t field (node->parent,
node->child, node->next, or the keys[] array in compose_key_after), so
the int return type causes narrowing warnings at all six call sites.

Change the return type to uint16_t and add an explicit cast on the
pointer subtraction to match the storage width and eliminate the
warnings.
