pgsql: Extend the date type to support infinity and -infinity, - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Log Message:
-----------
Extend the date type to support infinity and -infinity, analogously to
the timestamp types.  Turns out this doesn't even reduce the available
range of dates, since the restriction to dates that work for Julian-date
arithmetic is much tighter than the int32 range anyway.  Per a longstanding
TODO item.
