Since the existing bit number argument can't exceed INT32_MAX, it's not possible for these functions to manipulate bits beyond the first 256MB of a bytea value. Lift that restriction by redeclaring the bit number arguments as int8 (which requires a catversion bump, hence is not back-patchable). The similarly-named functions for bit/varbit don't really have a problem because we restrict those types to at most VARBITMAXLEN bits; hence leave them alone. While here, extend the encode/decode functions in utils/adt/encode.c to allow dealing with values wider than 1GB. This is not a live bug or restriction in current usage, because no input could be more than 1GB, and since none of the encoders can expand a string more than 4X, the result size couldn't overflow uint32. But it might be desirable to support more in future, so make the input length values size_t and the potential-output-length values uint64. Also add some test cases to improve the miserable code coverage of these functions.

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/.
