Instead of open-coding this, how about about using pg_neg_s32_overflow?
if (pg_neg_s32_overflow(n, &n))
n = PG_INT32_MAX;
This made me think we might want saturating versions of the
pg_*_overflow functions, but some quick grepping doesn't reveal any
other places using pg_*_overflow do it manually, so that feels like
premature generalisation.
