fs: Add uoff_t

In a recent commit, I inadvertently changed a comparison from being an unsigned comparison (on 64-bit systems) to being a signed comparison (which it had always been on 32-bit systems). This led to a sporadic fstests failure. To make sure this comparison is always unsigned, introduce a new type, uoff_t which is the unsigned version of loff_t. Generally file sizes are restricted to being a signed integer, but in these two places it is convenient to pass -1 to indicate "up to the end of the file".
