FS#587 - GenericReferenceElements should use unsigned for indices, sizes etc.

----------
While using int is of course possible for the Generic Reference Element, I still think using std::size_t is more natural as the index is non-negative.
It takes some time, but one gets used to using it. (BTW counting backeards is not a problem.)

In other places using std::size_t has the advantage that at least on some 64bit platforms one can reference all the elements of an array that can be allocated.
By not using size_t we cannot compute as large problems as the hardware would allow us.
