The simplest answer: always use CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE and pass in a
curl_off_t type.

If you really want to do it more complicated, then use CURLOPT_INFILESIZE as
long as you can fit the size in a signed 'long' and then switch to
CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE when it gets larger than so. But that's unnecessarily
complicated. Really.
