This would mean introducing more flavors in pg_bitutils.h with limit
checks. That does not seem completely right to do in this file, which
is a wrapper for all the __builtin_*() calls? A second point is on
the signedness but we could just cap the maximum at
(PG_UINT{32,64}_MAX / 2), I guess, with two new routines like:
uint64 pg_nextpower2_64_max(uint64 num);
uint32 pg_prevpower2_32_max(uint32 num);
And then cast the unsigned results back to signed in dynahash.c.
Without this point, I have switched the patch to use int64, keeping
the signedness the same as the original. I have missed that there was
one spot where we relied on NO_MAX_DSIZE.
