Doc: document libpq's restriction to INT_MAX rows in a PGresult.
As long as PQntuples, PQgetvalue, etc, use "int" for row numbers, we're pretty much stuck with this limitation. The documentation formerly stated that the result of PQntuples "might overflow on 32-bit operating systems", which is just nonsense: that's not where the overflow would happen, and if you did reach an overflow it would not be on a 32-bit machine, because you'd have OOM'd long since.
