Compiling under Clang 13 with -Wextra resulted in the following warning:

src/http.c:3470:31: warning: performing pointer subtraction with a null pointer has undefined behavior [-Wnull-pointer-subtraction]
    request=va_arg(_ap,char *)-(char *)NULL;

It seems subtracting a null pointer is undefined behavior, which we can avoid by casting to intptr_t instead.

Request macros (e.g. OP_GET_SERVER_INFO) already do a simple cast ((char*)_request) rather than addition with null pointer (_request+(char*)NULL) so nothing needs to be changed on that end.

Subtracting a null pointer is undefined behavior according to
Clang 13 (-Wnull-pointer-subtraction). Avoid this by casting to
intptr_t instead.

Request macros (e.g. OP_GET_SERVER_INFO) already do a simple cast
`((char*)_request)` rather than addition with null pointer
`(_request+(char*)NULL)` so nothing needs to be changed on that end.
