uid_t and gid_t are narrower than VALUE.

Often uid / gid are 16 bit or 32 bit integers, while VALUE are 32
to 64 bits.  They tend to differ in size.  Because rb_ensure expects
its callbacks to take VALUE arguments, narrowing must be done by
hand, otherwise data corruption can happen depending on machine ABI.
