The array module's `array.remove(x)` iterates over the array, searching for `x`. If the array contains >=2G elements this can overflow the `int` loop variable.

`array__array_reconstructor_impl()` also contains loops with `int` variables that likely have the similar problems.

Changing the loop variables to `Py_ssize_t` fixes the problem. For details see the PR.

Can this be closed? It was not backported to 3.7, but that's over now right?
