return inode numbers as strings where necessary
We previously used a lossy conversion of inode numbers to floating point,
where they're too big to fit the IV/UV format. That sucks; a rounded
inode number is nearly useless. Instead, fall back to returning a
string of decimal digits. That preserves the entire value, for code
that looks at it in the right way, and collapses to the former fallback
in other situations.
