Tom Lane 3a0f8e7d3f Make [U]INT64CONST safe for use in #if conditions.
Instead of using a cast to force the constant to be the right width,
assume we can plaster on an L, UL, LL, or ULL suffix as appropriate.
The old approach to this is very hoary, dating from before we were
willing to require compilers to have working int64 types.

This fix makes the PG_INT64_MIN, PG_INT64_MAX, and PG_UINT64_MAX
constants safe to use in preprocessor conditions, where a cast
doesn't work.  Other symbolic constants that might be defined using
[U]INT64CONST are likewise safer than before.

Also fix the SIZE_MAX macro to be similarly safe, if we are forced
to provide a definition for that.  The test added in commit 2e70d6b5e
happens to do what we want even with the hack "(size_t) -1" definition,
but we could easily get burnt on other tests in future.

Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous commits.

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
