libpq-oauth: Avoid overflow for very large intervals

The slow_down interval parsing code checks explicitly for overflow, but
since it does that after the signed overflow has already occurred, we
end up inviting undefined behavior from the compiler anyway.

Use checked arithmetic instead. set_timer() takes a long int in order to
interface nicely with libcurl, so use an int32 as the interval counter
and clamp to LONG_MAX during conversion to milliseconds.

Backpatch to 18, where libpq-oauth was introduced.
