The "off_t" type may change when you enable or disable large file
support on 32 bit platforms. This caused severe ABI problems within
MPD when we enabled LFS for the first time: two sources included
config.h and sys/types.h in different order, and had different off_t
sizes - leading to memory corruption because of ABI incompatibility.
This patch attempts to get rid of all public "off_t" uses: it removes
"off_t" from the input_stream ABI/API, and switches to GLib's 64 bit
"goffset" type. This may hurt 32 bit embedded platforms a tiny bit,
but that's not even measurable.
