    Don't depend on -fwrapv semantics in pgbench's random() function. · 203c5aaa

    Instead use the common/int.h functions to check for integer overflow
    in a more C-standard-compliant fashion.  This is motivated by recent
    failures on buildfarm member moonjelly, where it appears that
    development-tip gcc is optimizing without regard to the -fwrapv
    switch.  Presumably that's a gcc bug that will be fixed soon, but
    we might as well install cleaner coding here rather than wait.
    
    (This does not address the question of whether we'll ever be able
    to get rid of using -fwrapv.  Testing shows that this spot is the
    only place where doing so creates visible regression test failures,
    but unfortunately that proves very little.)
    
    Back-patch to v12.  The common/int.h functions exist in v11, but
    that branch doesn't use them in any client-side code.  I judge
    that this case isn't interesting enough in the real world to take
    even a small risk of issues from being the first such use.
