OK, makes sense. Here is an alternative patch. It introduces two
light-weight macros strtoi64() and strtou64() (compare e.g., strtoimax()
in POSIX) in c.h and removes pg_strtouint64(). This moves the
portability layer from numutils.c to c.h, so it's closer to the rest of
the int64 portability code. And that way it is available to not just
server code. And it resolves the namespace collision with the
pg_strtointNN() functions in numutils.c.
