Fix pg_dump's logic for eliding sequence limits that match the defaults.

The previous coding here applied atoi() to strings that could represent
values too large to fit in an int.  If the overflowed value happened to
match one of the cases it was looking for, it would drop that limit
value from the output, leading to incorrect restoration of the sequence.

Avoid the unsafe behavior, and also make the logic cleaner by explicitly
calculating the default min/max values for the appropriate kind of
sequence.

Reported and patched by Alexey Bashtanov, though I whacked his patch
around a bit.  Back-patch to v10 where the faulty logic was added.
