Improve TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds to cope with overflow sanely.

We'd like to use TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds with the stop_time
possibly being TIMESTAMP_INFINITY, but up to now it's disclaimed
responsibility for overflow cases.  Define it to clamp its output to
the range [0, INT_MAX], handling overflow correctly.  (INT_MAX rather
than LONG_MAX seems appropriate, because the function is already
described as being intended for calculating wait times for WaitLatch
et al, and that infrastructure only handles waits up to INT_MAX.
Also, this choice gets rid of cross-platform behavioral differences.)

Having done that, we can replace some ad-hoc code in walreceiver.c
with a simple call to TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds.

While at it, fix some buglets in existing callers of
TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds: basebackup_copy.c had not read the
memo about TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds never returning a negative
value, and postmaster.c had not read the memo about Min() and Max()
being macros with multiple-evaluation hazards.  Neither of these
quite seem worth back-patching.

Patch by me; thanks to Nathan Bossart for review.
