Hi!

Sorry for delay. I was a bit busy last month. Anyway, here is my
proposal for making multioffsets 64 bit.
The patch set consists of three parts:
0001 - making user output of offsets 64-bit ready;
0002 - making offsets 64-bit;
0003 - provide 32 to 64 bit conversion in pg_upgarde.

I'm pretty sure this is just a beginning of the conversation, so any
opinions and reviews, as always, are very welcome!
