Fixes after comments from last push:

- Removed some not needed casts
- Change plugin.h to be 'binary compatible' with old versions
- Added mysql_ft_size_t typedef to plugin.h to make it trivial to change string lengths to size_t on next ABI change
- Made some fixes suggested by Kristian to make things more portable and future safe (when it comes to strict aliasing)

include/ft_global.h:
  Introduced FT_WEIGTH, to handle fulltext weights in a slightly more portable manner
include/mysql/plugin.h:
  Change plugin.h to be 'binary compatible' with old versions
  Added mysql_ft_size_t typedef to plugin.h to make it trivial to change string lengths to size_t on next ABI change
