This commit attempts to update a few places, such as the money, numeric, and timestamp types, to no longer rely on signed integer wrapping for correctness. This is intended to move us closer towards removing -fwrapv, which may enable some compiler optimizations. However, there is presently no plan to actually remove that compiler option in the near future. Besides using some of the existing overflow-aware routines in int.h, this commit introduces and makes use of some new ones. Specifically, it adds functions that accept a signed integer and return its absolute value as an unsigned integer with the same width (e.g., pg_abs_s64()). It also adds functions that accept an unsigned integer, store the result of negating that integer in a signed integer with the same width, and return whether the negation overflowed (e.g., pg_neg_u64_overflow()). Finally, this commit adds a couple of tests for timestamps near POSTGRES_EPOCH_JDATE.
