libretro-common/vfs: fix three real bugs + regression test

Three independent bugs in vfs_implementation.c, bundled with a
regression test (true discriminator for bug 1) and the CI hook to
run it.

vfs: fix mmap read integer overflow in retro_vfs_file_read_impl
  Pre-patch:
      if (stream->mappos + len > stream->mapsize)
          len = stream->mapsize - stream->mappos;
      memcpy(s, &stream->mapped[stream->mappos], len);

  mappos and len are uint64_t.  When len is attacker-controlled
  (the VFS read interface is exposed to cores), picking len such
  that (mappos + len) overflows uint64_t past zero defeats the
  bound check: the wrapped small value is not > mapsize, the
  clamp is skipped, and memcpy reads the full unclamped len bytes
  off the end of the mapped region.

  Concrete repro on a 16-byte file with mappos seeked to 10:
  pick len = UINT64_MAX - 9.  Sum = UINT64_MAX + 1 = 0 in
  uint64_t.  0 > 16 is false, clamp bypassed, memcpy reads
  (UINT64_MAX - 9) bytes from mapped[10].  Crash / OOB.  ASan
  reports "negative-size-param: (size=-10)" in memcpy.

  Fix: clamp len via unsigned subtraction against the remaining
  bytes (`remaining = mapsize - mappos; if (len > remaining) len
  = remaining;`) before computing the sum.  This cannot wrap.
  Also tighten the at-EOF predicate from > to >= and return 0
  (successful read at EOF) rather than -1.

  Reachability: requires HAVE_MMAP + the frequent-access hint.
  Linux builds, and any other build with mmap support, are
  affected.  Windows (VC6 and every other MSVC) is NOT affected
  since HAVE_MMAP is not defined there.

vfs: saturate retro_vfs_stat_impl size on files > 2 GiB
  Pre-patch *size = (int32_t)size64 silently truncated files
  > 2 GiB.  Worse, for files in (INT32_MAX, UINT32_MAX] the high
  bit propagated and callers saw a negative size, which many
  interpret as an error.  Post-patch saturates to INT_MAX before
  the cast.

  INT_MAX from <limits.h> is used instead of INT32_MAX from
  <stdint.h> for C89 / VC6 portability: INT32_MAX is a C99
  addition and not available in VC6's stdint shim.  int is
  32-bit on all MSVC targets including VC6, so the two macros
  are equal everywhere this code runs.

vfs: fix retro_vfs_file_truncate_impl silent truncation on Windows
  _chsize takes a long (32-bit on Windows) and silently
  truncates lengths > LONG_MAX.  This affects every Windows CRT
  including VC6.  The Secure CRT (VS 2005+, _MSC_VER >= 1400)
  added _chsize_s which takes __int64.

  Post-patch:
    _MSC_VER >= 1400: use _chsize_s with the full 64-bit length
    _MSC_VER  < 1400 (including VC6) and non-MSVC Windows:
      reject lengths > LONG_MAX and fall back to _chsize for
      shorter values.  Returning an error for the unsupported
      case is strictly better than silently truncating the file.

  The _MSC_VER >= 1400 gate preserves VC6 (_MSC_VER = 1200)
  buildability while still giving modern MSVC the correct
  semantics.

Regression test: libretro-common/samples/file/vfs/
  A true discriminator for bug #1.  Creates a 16-byte mmap'd
  file, seeks to offset 10, then calls the read function with
  len = UINT64_MAX - 9.

    unpatched: SEGV (or under ASan:
      "negative-size-param: (size=-10)" in memcpy)
    patched:   both reads return sane clamped values; ASan
      clean; exit 0

  Bugs #2 and #3 have no targeted regression test -- both
  require > 2 GiB input files, impractical for a self-contained
  sample that runs in CI.  The existing nbio_test and
  config_file_test exercise non-huge-file paths through vfs, so
  a regression that breaks the happy path would still surface.

CI: libretro-common samples workflow updated
  vfs_read_overflow_test added to RUN_TARGETS.  Full local
  dry-run under the GHA shell contract reports:
    Built: 13  Ran: 12  Failed: 0
