    Fix float-to-integer coercions to handle edge cases correctly. · cbdb8b4c

    ftoi4 and its sibling coercion functions did their overflow checks in
    a way that looked superficially plausible, but actually depended on an
    assumption that the MIN and MAX comparison constants can be represented
    exactly in the float4 or float8 domain.  That fails in ftoi4, ftoi8,
    and dtoi8, resulting in a possibility that values near the MAX limit will
    be wrongly converted (to negative values) when they need to be rejected.
    
    Also, because we compared before rounding off the fractional part,
    the other three functions threw errors for values that really ought
    to get rounded to the min or max integer value.
    
    Fix by doing rint() first (requiring an assumption that it handles
    NaN and Inf correctly; but dtoi8 and ftoi8 were assuming that already),
    and by comparing to values that should coerce to float exactly, namely
    INTxx_MIN and -INTxx_MIN.  Also remove some random cosmetic discrepancies
    between these six functions.
    
    Per bug #15519 from Victor Petrovykh.  This should get back-patched,
    but first let's see what the buildfarm thinks of it --- I'm not too
    sure about portability of some of the regression test cases.
    
    Patch by me; thanks to Andrew Gierth for analysis and discussion.
