    Autoconfiscate selection of 64-bit int type for 64-bit large object API. · 95d035e6

    Get rid of the fundamentally indefensible assumption that "long long int"
    exists and is exactly 64 bits wide on every platform Postgres runs on.
    Instead let the configure script select the type to use for "pg_int64".
    
    This is a bit of a pain in the rear since we do not want to pollute client
    namespace with all the random symbols that pg_config.h defines; instead
    we have to create a separate generated header file, "pg_config_ext.h".
    But now that the infrastructure is there, we might have the ability to
    add some other stuff that's long been wanting in this area.
