Allow floating-point file offsets.
Problem reported by Vitalie Spinu in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-01/msg00411.html>.
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Reading from Files, Writing to Files):
Say that file offsets can be numbers, not just integers.
* src/fileio.c (emacs_lseek): Remove.
(file_offset): New function.
(Finsert_file_contents, Fwrite_region): Use it.
