TCP Reassembler hotfix for conns > 2GB.

The TCP Reassembler does not deliver any data to analyzers after the
first 2GB due to signed integer overflow (Actually it will deliver again
between 4--6GB, etc.) This happens silently, i.e., without content_gap
events or Undelivered calls.

See Comments in TCP_Reassembler.cc for more details.

As a hotfix that seems to work I disabled the seq_to_skip features. It
wasn't used by any analyzer or policy script (Note, that seq_to_skip is
different from skip_deliveries).

// Note, sequence numbers are relative. I.e., they start with 1.
// The Reassembler uses 32 bit ints for keeping track of sequence numbers.
// This means that the seq numbers will become negative once we exceed
// 2 GB of data. The Reassembler seems to mostly work despite negative
// sequence numbers, since seq_delta() will handle them gracefully.
// However, there are a couple of issues. E.g., seq_to_skip doesn't work
// (which is now disabled with an ifdef, since it wasn't used)
// Also, a check in Undelivered() had a problem with negative sequence
// numbers.
//
// There are numerous counters (e.g., number of total bytes, etc.) that are
// incorrect due to overflow too. However, these seem to be for informative
// purposes only, so we currently ignore them.
//
// There might be other problems hidden somewhere, that I haven't discovered
// yet......
//
// Ideally the Reassembler should start using 64 bit ints for keeping track
// of sequence numbers
//
// Reassem.{cc|h} and other "Reassemblers" that inherit from it (e.g., Frag)
// need to be updated too.
