[PATCH] setup: Report progress correctly when amount of data is more than 2GB


As noted elsewhere ([1],[2]), setup does not report the overall installation
progress correctly when the total size of packages being installed is more
than 2GB.

It seems that it is now possible to exceed that limit by asking setup to
install everything, which downloads about 4.8 GB. (Note that this includes all
source-only packages, and all debuginfo packages, which is possibly not what
is usually wanted)

Attached is a fairly minimal patch to fix the progress reporting.
