These were introduced (commit efdc7d74753) at the same time as we were 
moving to using the standard inttypes.h format macros (commit 
a0ed19e0a9e).  It doesn't seem useful to keep a new already-deprecated 
interface like this with only a few users, so remove the new symbols 
again and have the callers use PRIx64.

(Also, INT64_HEX_FORMAT was kind of a misnomer, since hex formats all 
use unsigned types.)

[should be backpatched to PG18]
