Before PG 12, this would have worked (on many platforms) if your
local libc's printf understood the "j" modifier. Since v12, we use
src/port/snprintf.c on every platform, and it doesn't know "j".
By and large, we do not use the <stdint.h> types in Postgres, and are
unlikely to start doing so. So this omission doesn't particularly
concern me. "ll" with a cast to "long long" is indeed the recommended
practice if you want to print a 64-bit value.
