Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the

int8 constants. Threw in the rest for completeness while I was in the
area.
I did not force an initdb for this, since the system will still run
without the new pg_proc/pg_operator entries. Possibly I should've.

Also, get rid of numeric's private allocation freelist, which is no longer
a win since Jan rewrote palloc.
