Subject: [PATCH 05/10] tty: tty_buffer: switch insert functions to size_t

All the functions accept size_t as a size argument. They finally return
the same size (or less). It is quite unexpected that they return a
signed value and can confuse users to check for negative values.

Instead, return the same size_t as accepted to make clear we return
values >= 0, where zero in fact means failure.
