[fpc-pascal] Set limitations

I was curious, is there any practical limit on the size of a set (32 bits
and 256 values) and why they couldn’t be 64 bit or any other arbitrary
size? The floor seems to be 4 bytes too but why not allow smaller sizes to
save memory? Perhaps just a historical artifact but I was curious.
