Remove dependence on -fwrapv semantics in a few places.

This commit attempts to update a few places, such as the money,
numeric, and timestamp types, to no longer rely on signed integer
wrapping for correctness.  This is intended to move us closer
towards removing -fwrapv, which may enable some compiler
optimizations.  However, there is presently no plan to actually
remove that compiler option in the near future.

Besides using some of the existing overflow-aware routines in
int.h, this commit introduces and makes use of some new ones.
Specifically, it adds functions that accept a signed integer and
return its absolute value as an unsigned integer with the same
width (e.g., pg_abs_s64()).  It also adds functions that accept an
unsigned integer, store the result of negating that integer in a
signed integer with the same width, and return whether the negation
overflowed (e.g., pg_neg_u64_overflow()).

Finally, this commit adds a couple of tests for timestamps near
POSTGRES_EPOCH_JDATE.
