Use off_t when we really mean a file offset.
Not all platforms have declared 'unsigned long' to be a 64 bit value,
but we want to support a 64 bit packfile (or close enough anyway)
in the near future as some projects are getting large enough that
their packed size exceeds 4 GiB.
By using off_t, the POSIX type that is declared to mean an offset
within a file, we support whatever maximum file size the underlying
operating system will handle. For most modern systems this is up
around 2^60 or higher.
