Remove the 2GB Limit for packing linked libraries

Hey guys, I hope with the coming overhaul of the linking system this (and all the other underlying problems) will be solved, but until then it would be nice to remove this limit.

This could of course result in big files fast, but i am not a fan of hard limits and rn the linking system at least for me is so buggy at certain points that this sometimes becomes the last resort to get the right files across mutiple workstations

This message was introduced in projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/148439 to fix a crash. See projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/148395 for information why this wasn't part of Blender 5.0.

Yes it is on the radar, but requires some low-level changes to support 64bit numbers in our API.
