Add overflow checks to int4 and int8 versions of generate_series().

The previous code went into an infinite loop after overflow.  In fact,
an overflow is not really an error; it just means that the current
value is the last one we need to return.  So, just arrange to stop
immediately when overflow is detected.

Back-patch all the way.
