WIP warning redux

[joonicks]

try to reduce warning spam during compilation

"WIP": while pragma messages are in place to see where warning have been fixed

if PR is accepted the final step would be to clean out all pragma messages

[sturnclaw]

In all cases, please do not use bitwise-and with a literal constant, instead please prefer uint32_t(<expr>) (or as needed) as a functional-style cast instead.

[joonicks]

Ive been debating with myself which one makes more sense. The resulting code should be identical but the anding version makes more explicit that bit are truncated, a simple typecast looks neater but later on it may be overlooked that it actually truncates bits.

[sturnclaw]

The lack of visual clarity far outweighs any semantic benefit that might be gained by highlighting the fact that we're truncating the array size to only four billion entries. Please use the functional-style cast, explicit bit constants add visual clutter and make the code harder to read for no benefit in this case.

I appreciate the effort in fixing all of these warning locations - there are a few tweaks related to the preprocessor that I'd like to see made, but once those are done I'm happy to merge this (with the debug messages removed, of course).
