If the number of tuples in the heap exceeds approximately INT_MAX/2,
this loop's calculation "2*i+1" could overflow, resulting in a crash.
Fix it by using unsigned int rather than int for the relevant local
variables; that shouldn't cost anything extra on any popular hardware.
Per bug #14722 from Sergey Koposov.
Original patch by Sergey Koposov, modified by me per a suggestion
from Heikki Linnakangas to use unsigned int not int64.
Back-patch to 9.4, where tuplesort.c grew the ability to sort as many
as INT_MAX tuples in-memory (commit 263865a48
).
