Yes, I looked at those but they seemed like overkill for interval.  For
a case where there was an int64 multiplied by a double, then cast back
to an int64, I checked the double against INT64_MAX before casting to an
int64.

The only use I found was in pgbench:

        #ifndef INT64_MAX
        #define INT64_MAX   INT64CONST(0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF)
        #endif

so I have just added that to my patch, and INT64_MIN:

        #ifndef INT64_MIN
        #define INT64_MIN   (-INT64CONST(0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF) - 1)
        #endif

This is only used for HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP.
