pageinspect: Change block number arguments to bigint
Block numbers are 32-bit unsigned integers. Therefore, the smallestSQL integer type that they can fit in is bigint. However, in thepageinspect module, most input and output parameters dealing withblock numbers were declared as int. The behavior with block numberslarger than a signed 32-bit integer was therefore dubious. Changethese arguments to type bigint and add some more explicit errorchecking on the block range.(Other contrib modules appear to do this correctly already.)Since we are changing argument types of existing functions, in orderto not misbehave if the binary is updated before the extension isupdated, we need to create new C symbols for the entry points, similarto how it's done in other extensions as well.Reported-by: Ashutosh Bapat <ashutosh.bapat.oss@gmail.com>Reviewed-by: Alvaro Herrera <alvherre@alvh.no-ip.org>Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <michael@paquier.xyz>Discussion:https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/d8f6bdd536df403b9b33816e9f7e0b9d@G08CNEXMBPEKD05.g08.fujitsu.local
