Is it worth breaking backwards compatibility for the 0.7 datastore (with
prior builds of 0.7) to fix an inherent 64TB limit?

The code uses an int for offsets into files, which is easily fixed.
However it also uses, on disk, an int for block numbers. This means
datastores are limited to 2G * 32K = 64TB. Normally I wouldn't regard
this as a big problem, but since we are in pre-alpha, and since there
isn't that much content, I'm inclined to make the change...
