Passing APR_LARGEFILE does not magically change the size of apr_off_t;
it does not gain us the ability to seek around in >2GB files. It's
essentially a promise to APR that we don't need to seek, so it's okay to
go above the 2GB limit.

However, we most definitely do need to seek around in FSFS rev files,
which are the most common thing to go above 2GB. APR_LARGEFILE won't
help us for that case.
