Fix default minimum value for descending sequences

Browse Source 
For some reason that is lost in history, a descending sequence would
default its minimum value to -2^63+1 (-PG_INT64_MAX) instead of
-2^63 (PG_INT64_MIN), even though explicitly specifying a minimum value
of -2^63 would work.  Fix this inconsistency by using the full range by
default.

the minimum value a sequence can generate. If this clause is not
supplied or <option>NO MINVALUE</option> is specified, then
defaults will be used. The defaults are 1 and
-2<superscript>63</>-1 for ascending and descending sequences,
-2<superscript>63</> for ascending and descending sequences,
respectively.
