Andres Freund 101c7ee3ee Use new overflow aware integer operations.
A previous commit added inline functions that provide fast(er) and
correct overflow checks for signed integer math. Use them in a
significant portion of backend code.  There's more to touch in both
backend and frontend code, but these were the easily identifiable
cases.

The old overflow checks are noticeable in integer heavy workloads.

A secondary benefit is that getting rid of overflow checks that rely
on signed integer overflow wrapping around, will allow us to get rid
of -fwrapv in the future. Which in turn slows down other code.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
