Defining it fixes the compile.

I did verify the size of PATH_MAX. On my pc (arch with GCC compiler) this value is defined as 4096. That seems enough to me. Another way to fix this is to add it in os_support.h. I didn't add it there because ipfsgateway.c is currently the only cross-platform code that makes use of this.

Lastly, I don't have an MSVC compiler and windows to test this on.
I hope someone else in that setup can verify that this does indeed fix the
ffmpeg master build?

This looks like a reasonable fix to at least make things build correctly again (and it does fix the issue).

FWIW, the corresponding Windows define is MAX_PATH, which usually is 260, so setting it to 4096 here is probably more than enough if a hardcoded value is needed.
