tcpdump: Fix CVE-2018-16301

This fixes the following security problem:
The command-line argument parser in tcpdump before 4.99.0 has a buffer
overflow in tcpdump.c:read_infile(). To trigger this vulnerability the
attacker needs to create a 4GB file on the local filesystem and to
specify the file name as the value of the -F command-line argument of
tcpdump.

Subject: [PATCH] Handle very large -f files by rejecting them.
_read(), on Windows, has a 32-bit size argument and a 32-bit return
value, so reject -f files that have more than 2^31-1 characters.
Add some #defines so that, on Windows, we use _fstati64 to get the size
of that file, to handle large files.
Don't assume that our definition for ssize_t is the same size as size_t;
by the time we want to print the return value of the read, we know it'll
fit into an int, so just cast it to int and print it with %d.
(cherry picked from commit faf8fb70af3a013e5d662b8283dec742fd6b1a77)
