RFR: 8377895: Create sizeof_auto to reduce narrowing conversions [v8]

[Leo Korinth]

> `sizeof_auto` is created so that we can reduce the amount of casting and thus make the code more type safe. The normal `sizeof` will return a `size_t` although the size of most stuff can be represented in a `uint8_t`. `sizeof_auto` will return the size in an as small unsigned type as is possible. The result is that expressions that uses `sizeof_auto` can convert to most integral types, and no explicit narrowing cast will be needed.
> 
> The change in `cpCache.hpp` is an example where we would get an implicit narrowing warning (if we had those enabled) using normal `sizeof`, but where `sizeof_auto` will not make the expression a `size_t` .
