ruby: remove typedef of Index as int64
The Index type defined as typedef int64 does not really provide any help
since in most places we use primitive types instead of Index.  Also, the name
Index is very generic that it does not merit being used as a typename.

Testing Done

I'll drop these typedefs in separate patch.
```

In STL all index types tends to be size_t. Is there a reason for not using that here?

I don't think there is any particular reason.  I myself typically use int / int64_t
depending on how large I expect the index to be.  I think using int64 is fine for
these pieces of the code.

Ship It!
