Subject: [PATCH] [libc] Add loff_t type

Added loff_t type definition. This is a Linux extension required for
large file offsets.

* llvm-libc-types/loff_t.h: Defined loff_t as __kernel_loff_t on Linux, falling back to __INT64_TYPE__.
* sys/types.yaml: Added loff_t to sys/types.
* llvm-libc-types/CMakeLists.txt: Registered loff_t.h.
* libc/include/CMakeLists.txt: Added dependency to sys_types target.

Assisted-by: Automated tooling, human reviewed.
