storage/FileInfo, db/simple/Directory: use 64 bit for device/inode
An ino_t is usually a 64 bit integer, and some file systems (such as Linux's kernel NFS client) really uses the upper 32 bit. This can lead to false positives in the directory loop detection in FindAncestorLoop(). Increasing these two attributes (in StorageFileInfo and Directory) to 64 bit adds little overhead, but makes the check a lot safer.
