Subject: [PATCH] tools: hv: fcopy_daemon: support >2GB files for x86_32 guest

Without this patch, hv_fcopy_daemon's hv_copy_data() -> pwrite()
will fail for >2GB file offset.

I tested the patch on x86_32 and x86_64 Ubuntu 15.04 nightly build(this is
a generic issue and I think all the existing x86_32 distros have the issue):
without the patch, the fcopy with a >2GB file always failed and with the patch
I was able to fcopy a file of 40GB successfully.

"getconf LFS_CFLAGS" returns "-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
on x86_32 and returns an empty string on x86_64.
