expand_number(3) silently truncates numeric part of the argument to 32 bit on i386, light impact on gjournal

[Alexandre "Sunny" Kovalenko]

I honestly don't know whether it should or should not do it, and if it
should not, what errno should be set to. Program below gives following
output on RELENG_7 as of June 28th:

sunny:RabbitsDen>./expand_number 5368709120k 
Result is 1099511627776
sunny:RabbitsDen>./expand_number 5120G
Result is 5497558138880
sunny:RabbitsDen>

One of the more interesting manifestations in the userland is that

gjournal label -s 5368709120 -f /dev/da0s1a

quietly gives you 1G of the journal in the resulting file system.
