Fix typo in pg_srand48 (srand48 in older branches).

">" should be ">>".  This typo results in failure to use all of the bits
of the provided seed.

This might rise to the level of a security bug if we were relying on
srand48 for any security-critical purposes, but we are not --- in fact,
it's not used at all unless the platform lacks srandom(), which is
improbable.  Even on such a platform the exposure seems minimal.
