sys/util.h: helper macro to perform pointer difference

Browse source 
Some code casts pointers to ints in order to obtain their difference.
The compiler complains on 64-bit targets as an int is not wide enough
to hold a pointer.

Let's introduce the PTR_DIFF() helper macro to applies the proper cast
to pointers before performing a difference on them, and still return the
result as an int which should be large enough in practice.
