Please choose a way that doesn't introduce new portability assumptions.
The backend gets along fine without strtoll, and I don't see why pgbench
should have to require it.

(BTW, I don't actually believe that the proposed code works at all,
since in general strtoll or other variants aren't going to be macros,
but plain functions.)
