dd: should terminate with error if skip argument is too large

[jfinkels]

Environment: Ubuntu 24.04, uutils main branch (git commit 2430e2a), GNU coreutils v9.4

Steps to reproduce:

printf 1234 > file
dd bs=1 skip=9223372036854775808 count=0 <file

What happens now: uutils dd complains about skipping but still proceeds as usual:

dd: 'standard input': cannot skip to specified offset
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes copied, 0.00015169 s, 0.0 B/s

What I expected to happen: GNU dd terminates immediately with an error message that the value of the skip argument is too large:

dd: invalid number: '9223372036854775808': Value too large for defined data type

Notes: this is causing a failure in the GNU test file tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file.sh.

@jfinkels May I take this issue? I figured that the current line dd: 'standard input': cannot skip to specified offset
is coming from here

If you have more suggestions to handle the error please let me know
