stream_encoder.c : Fix an arithmetic overflow in the RICE2 partitioner.
For a specific 24 bit WAV file provided by Leigh Dyer
http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/flac-dev/2013-July/004284.html
encoding with compression level 7 was generating a file a couple of
orders of magintude larger than the original.
Debugging showed that variable abs_residual_partition_sum (a FLAC__uint32)
in function precompute_partition_info_sums_() was suffering from an
arithmetic overflowing on some 24 bit input files although this value
overflowing did not always cause larger output files.
Since the value abs_residual_partition_sum is eventually stored in an
array of FLAC__uint64, it makes sense to make abs_residual_partition_sum
a FLAC__uint64 anyway.
Debugging this problem was made easier by use of the Clang compiler's
-fsanitize=integer option.
