qemu_ram_alloc_from_fd allocates space if file_size == 0.  If non-zero,
it uses the existing space and verifies it is large enough, but the
verification was broken when the offset parameter was introduced.  As
a result, a file smaller than offset passes the verification and causes
errors later.  Fix that, and update the error message to include offset.

Peter provides this concise reproducer:

  $ touch ramfile
  $ truncate -s 64M ramfile
  $ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -object memory-backend-file,mem-path=./ramfile,offset=128M,size=128M,id=mem1,prealloc=on
  qemu-system-x86_64: qemu_prealloc_mem: preallocating memory failed: Bad address

With the fix, the error message is:
  qemu-system-x86_64: mem1 backing store size 0x4000000 is too small for 'size' option 0x8000000 plus 'offset' option 0x8000000

Note that offset is of type "off_t", not ram_addr_t.

ram_addr_t is a uintptr_t, but off_t can be a different integer type.

In meson.build we use "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64". So on 32bit ram_addr_t 
would be 32bit but off_t will be 64bit.


Printing off_t can be weird [1]. Maybe just cast it to an uint64_t and 
print it using PRIx64?
