Fix corner-case 64-bit integer subtraction bug on some platforms.

deanrasheed · deanrasheed · commit 0e3e8fbd3a8b · 2023-11-09T09:50:23.000Z
When computing "0 - INT64_MIN", most platforms would report an overflow error, which is correct. However, platforms without integer overflow builtins or 128-bit integers would fail to spot the overflow, and incorrectly return INT64_MIN. Back-patch to all supported branches. Patch be me. Thanks to Jian He for initial investigation, and Laurenz Albe and Tom Lane for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAEZATCUNK-AZSD0jVdgkk0N%3DNcAXBWeAEX-QU9AnJPensikmdQ%40mail.gmail.com
