Making flvtool++ work with large files

The flvtool++ by Facebook is a fast FLV metadata tagger, but at least up to v1.2.1 it lacks large file support. Here is a simple patch to make it work with large files:

Note: While this patch helps you to process large files flvtool++ will still load the entire file into memory!!! Given this you might want to use a different injector like yamdi. For a
comparsion of existing tools have a look at the Comparison of FLV and MP4 metadata tagging tools.
