Fix numeric_power() when the exponent is INT_MIN.

In power_var_int(), the computation of the number of significant
digits to use in the computation used log(Abs(exp)), which isn't safe
because Abs(exp) returns INT_MIN when exp is INT_MIN. Use fabs()
instead of Abs(), so that the exponent is cast to a double before the
absolute value is taken.

Back-patch to 9.6, where this was introduced (by 7d9a4737).
