Use 64-bit integer storage for datetimes and intervals, rather
than the default floating-point storage. This reduces the range
of representable values but guarantees microsecond precision across
the full range (see <xref linkend="datatype-datetime"> for more
information). Note also that the integer datetimes code is newer
than the floating-point code, and we still find bugs in it from time
to time.
