This change is to get rid of randomly failing tests, especially those
that reads random position of the binary log. From looking at the logs
it's clear that some failures is because of a read char (with value >= 128)
is converted to a big long value. Using uchar everywhere makes this much
less likely to happen.
Another benefit is that a lot of cast of char to uchar could be removed.

Other things:
- Removed some extra space before '=' and '+=' in assignments
- Fixed indentations and lines > 80 characters
- Replace '16' with 'element_size' (from class definition) in
  Gtid_list_log_event()
