odb: guard against data loss checking out a huge file

odb: guard against data loss checking out a huge file

This introduces an additional guard for platforms where `unsigned long`
and `size_t` are not of the same size. If the size of an object in the
database would overflow `unsigned long`, instead we now exit with an
error.

A complete fix will have to update _many_ other functions throughout the
codebase to use `size_t` instead of `unsigned long`. It will have to be
implemented at some stage.

This commit puts in a stop-gap for the time being.
