    fileops: do not overwrite correct error message on mmap
    
    When executing `git_futils_mmap_ro_file`, we first try to guess whether
    the file is mmapable at all. Part of this check is whether the file is
    too large to be mmaped, which can be true on systems with 32 bit
    `size_t` types.
    
    The check is performed by first getting the file size wtih
    `git_futils_filesize` and then checking whether the returned size can be
    represented as `size_t`, returning an error if so. While this test also
    catches the case where the function returned an error (as `-1` is not
    representable by `size_t`), we will set the misleading error message
    "file too large to mmap". But in fact, a negative return value from
    `git_futils_filesize` will be caused by the inability to fstat the file.
    
    Fix the error message by handling negative return values separately and
    not overwriting the error message in that case.
