Hello,

I found the problem that clang compiler introduces warnings when building
PostgreSQL. Attached patch fixes it.

===
Compiler version
===
clang version 10.0.0-svn372772-1~exp1+0~20190924181208.2504~1.gbpb209ff
(trunk)

Older versions of clang may not generate this warning.

This warning is due to implicit conversion from PG_INT64_MAX to double,
which drops the precision as described in the warning. This drop is not a
problem in this case, but we have to get rid of useless warnings. Attached
patch casts PG_INT64_MAX explicitly.
