Nobody argued against, thus I've pushed a patch doing so.

Looking at surrounding code I found a few more oddities, but of older
vintage:
- pq_sendfloat4 uses an uint32 in the union, but float8 uses a int64.
- same with pq_getmsgfloat[48]
- pq_getmsgint64 returns a int64, should probably also be uint64

Given they're practially harmless I'm inclined to only fix them in
master?
