Fix hash computation when importing NARs greater than 4 GiB
This caused "nix-store --import" to compute an incorrect hash on NARs
that don't fit in an unsigned int. The import would succeed, but
"nix-store --verify-path" or subsequent exports would detect an
incorrect hash.

A deeper issue is that the export/import format does not contain a
hash, so we can't detect such issues early.

Also, I learned that -Wall does not warn about this.
