f18aa1b203 pageinspect: Change block number arguments to bigint
Block numbers are 32-bit unsigned integers.  Therefore, the smallest
SQL integer type that they can fit in is bigint.  However, in the
pageinspect module, most input and output parameters dealing with
block numbers were declared as int.  The behavior with block numbers
larger than a signed 32-bit integer was therefore dubious.  Change
these arguments to type bigint and add some more explicit error
checking on the block range.

(Other contrib modules appear to do this correctly already.)

Since we are changing argument types of existing functions, in order
to not misbehave if the binary is updated before the extension is
updated, we need to create new C symbols for the entry points, similar
to how it's done in other extensions as well.
