Fix lo_read, lo_write, lo_truncate to cope with "size_t" length parameters.
libpq defines these functions as accepting "size_t" lengths ... but the
underlying backend functions expect signed int32 length parameters, and so
will misinterpret any value exceeding INT_MAX. Fix the libpq side to throw
error rather than possibly doing something unexpected.
This is a bug of long standing, but I doubt it's worth back-patching. The
problem is really pretty academic anyway with lo_read/lo_write, since any
caller expecting sane behavior would have to have provided a multi-gigabyte
buffer. It's slightly more pressing with lo_truncate, but still we haven't
supported large objects over 2GB until now.
