Introduce the Kconfig entry and actually switch to a 64bit value, if
wanted, for resource_size_t.

Why is the default 64 bit? Because 32 bit became experimental?

That's a really good question. Vivek, why did you change it to be this
way? In thinking about it some more, this should be a 64bit option
instead.
