ssize_t is not standard C++. It is a POSIX extension. Therefore, it does
not belong in generic code.
This change tweaks the logic in DBIter to remove the need for signed
integers, so ssize_t can be replaced with size_t. The impacted method
and private member are renamed to better express their purpose.
