Fine tune PTRACK_BUF_SIZE used for ptrack checkpoints.

8k of 64 bit LSNs is 64 KB, which looks like a reasonable
buffer size for disk writes.  On fast NVMe SSD it gives
around 20% increase in ptrack checkpoint speed compared
to PTRACK_BUF_SIZE == 1000, i.e. 8 KB writes.

Also use proper types for writesz and PTRACK_BUF_SIZE
while on it
