[PATCH v4] http.postbuffer: allow full range of ssize_t values

[David Turner <dturner@twosigma.com>]

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.
