Suggestion: let the *_LARGE constants have different values at compile
time, determined by the header file, according to the size of curl_off_t.

Programs compiled with one size, and linked to a library compiled with
a different size, will give sensible error results due to the
mismatched constants, instead of random failues or even spurious
successes.
