Seeks in the stream by the given offset, modified by type.
Attempting to seek past the end of the stream will have different
results depending on if the stream is fixed-sized or resizable. If
the stream is resizable then seeking past the end and then writing
will result in zeros filling the empty space. Seeking past the end
of a resizable stream and reading will result in EOF. Seeking past
the end of a fixed-sized stream will fail.
Any operation that would result in a negative offset will fail.
If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by
triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation
was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned.
