[coreutils] [PATCH] split: fail immediately if impossible to create a large file

[Pádraig Brady]

For example, if splitting to 4G files (max on VFAT for example),
and `split` is built without large file support, then we would
have only failed after about 2G was written. If the input is
currently less than that, we won't know about the issue until later.

I'm not planning to apply for this release,
but will if anyone thinks it's important enough.

cheers,
Pádraig.
