ftruncate() takes an off_t argument. On mingw-w64, this is 64-bits wide;
the module 'largefile' does not need to override off_t. Still, in this
situation, it is wrong to use _chsize() since that takes only a 32-bit
argument.
This patch fixes it.

ftruncate: Accept lengths > 2 GiB on 32-bit mingw.
* lib/ftruncate.c: Test whether module 'largefile' is in use, not
whether it had to override 'off_t'.
