block/vpc.c: Detect too-large vpc file

VHD files technically can be up to 2Tb, but virtual pc is limited
to 127G. Currently qemu-img refused to create vpc files > 127G,
but it is failing to return error when converting from a non-vpc
VHD file which is >127G. It returns success, but creates a truncated
converted image. Also, qemu-img info claims the vpc file is 127G
(and clean).

This patch detects a too-large vpc file and returns -EFBIG. Without
this patch,

=============================================================
root@ip-10-38-123-242:~/qemu-fixed# qemu-img info /mnt/140g-dynamic.vhd
image: /mnt/140g-dynamic.vhd
file format: vpc
virtual size: 127G (136899993600 bytes)
disk size: 284K
root@ip-10-38-123-242:~/qemu-fixed# qemu-img convert -f vpc -O raw /mnt/140g-dynamic.vhd /mnt/y
root@ip-10-38-123-242:~/qemu-fixed# echo $?
0
root@ip-10-38-123-242:~/qemu-fixed# qemu-img info /mnt/y
image: /mnt/y
file format: raw
virtual size: 127G (136899993600 bytes)
disk size: 0 =============================================================

(The 140G image was truncated with no warning or error.)

With the patch, I get:

=============================================================
root@ip-10-38-123-242:~/qemu-fixed# ./qemu-img info /mnt/140g-dynamic.vhd
qemu-img: Could not open '/mnt/140g-dynamic.vhd': File too large
root@ip-10-38-123-242:~/qemu-fixed# ./qemu-img convert -f vpc -O raw /mnt/140g-dynamic.vhd /mnt/y
qemu-img: Could not open '/mnt/140g-dynamic.vhd': File too large
qemu-img: Could not open '/mnt/140g-dynamic.vhd' =============================================================
