Add defenses against integer overflow in dynahash numbuckets calculations.
The dynahash code requires the number of buckets in a hash table to fit
in an int; but since we calculate the desired hash table size dynamically,
there are various scenarios where we might calculate too large a value.
The resulting overflow can lead to infinite loops, division-by-zero
crashes, etc. I (tgl) had previously installed some defenses against that
in commit 299d1716525c659f0e02840e31fbe4dea3, but that covered only one
call path. Moreover it worked by limiting the request size to work_mem,
but in a 64-bit machine it's possible to set work_mem high enough that the
problem appears anyway. So let's fix the problem at the root by installing
limits in the dynahash.c functions themselves.
