Fix timeout overflow in WAIT FOR LSN

Commit 447aae13b03 accepted TIMEOUT values up to INT64_MAX
milliseconds, but computing the deadline multiplies by 1000, which
caused an int64 overflow. And the command reported a timeout at once
instead of waiting.

Parse the value as an int instead, which simplifies the code and is
consistent with other timeout values such as the statement_timeout GUC.

The specified values are now rounded to the nearest millisecond, so a
positive timeout below half a millisecond becomes zero and waits
indefinitely.

Backpatch to v19, where the TIMEOUT option was introduced.
