[PATCH v5] http.postbuffer: allow full range of ssize_t values

Unfortunately, in order to push some large repos, the http postbuffer must sometimes exceed two gigabytes. On a 64-bit system, this is OK: we just malloc a larger buffer.

This means that we need to use CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE to set the buffer size.

V5 addresses comments from Torsten Boegershausen and Ramsay Jones. Since I don't have a 32-bit machine handy, it's difficult for me to check for compiler warnings on 32-bit machines. Hopefully my guess as to the solution to Ramsay's issue will be correct.
