qstring: Fix qstring_from_substr() not to provoke int overflow

qstring_from_substr() parameters @start and @end are of type int.
blkdebug_parse_filename(), blkverify_parse_filename(), nbd_parse_uri(),
and qstring_from_str() pass @end values of type size_t or ptrdiff_t.
Values exceeding INT_MAX get truncated, with possibly disastrous
results.

Such huge substrings seem unlikely, but we found one in a core dump,
where "info tlb" executed via QMP's human-monitor-command apparently
produced 35 GiB of output.

Fix by changing the parameters size_t.
