[Zope] Zope 2.7 data.fs maximum size

[Andreas Jung]

The max. size of the ZODB was *never* limited to 2GB. The size  was 
limitied by the installed Python
version which must be compiled with largefile support. This has always been 
possible at least
since Python 2.1 but you had to tickle the Python configuration process a 
bit. Since Python 2.3
largefile support should be build by default but there was never a real 2GB 
restriction.
