Tom Lane 5c9d17e94c Fix bogus casting in BlockIdGetBlockNumber().
This macro cast the result to BlockNumber after shifting, not before,
which is the wrong thing.  Per the C spec, the uint16 fields would
promote to int not unsigned int, so that (for 32-bit int) the shift
potentially shifts a nonzero bit into the sign position.  I doubt
there are any production systems where this would actually end with
the wrong answer, but it is undefined behavior per the C spec, and
clang's -fsanitize=undefined option reputedly warns about it on some
platforms.  (I can't reproduce that right now, but the code is
undeniably wrong per spec.)  It's easy to fix by casting to
BlockNumber (uint32) in the proper places.

It's been wrong for ages, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Report and patch by Zhihong Yu (cosmetic tweaking by me)

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.
