The StoreIOBuffer::length is buffer size and StoreIOBuffer::offset is
the offset inside the objects which must be 64 bit integer to allow
large objects passing through squid3.
I think it must be 64bit even if storing large objects does not
supported (it is not just an offset of a stored object) and this is why
the int64_t type used instead of off_t type.
