In v4, I've introduced a new BGW_LIBLEN macro and set it to the default
value of MAXPGPATH (1024). This way, the value can live in bgworker.h like
the other BGW_* macros do. Plus, this should make the assertion that
checks for backward compatibility unnecessary. Since bgw_library_name is
essentially a path, I can see the argument that we should just set
BGW_LIBLEN to MAXPGPATH directly. I'm curious what folks think about this.

I also changed the added sizeofs to use the macro for consistency with the
surrounding code.
