9. net: enforce timeout interval for paused send peers

   No need to waste a connection slot on a peer that is so slow to read as to not
   drain our send buffer down to the 1MB threshold within 20 minutes.

10. flatfile: store position as a 64 bits integer

    This is the last field that is only bounded by the usage callers make of it
    (unlike the file number, for instance). Promoting it to a 64 bits integer also
    does not change on-disk representation since we serialize positions as varints.
    Therefore, widen them to prevent any possible future misuse.

    Reviewed cherry-picks manually and checked the remaining commits automatically - similar to the v31 backport, except the the file-position fields are in different headers here
