Handle numeric overflow when handling range values
The numrange_subdiff() function was calculating the difference simply by
calling numeric_sub and numeric_float8, but those functions are not
overflow-safe. It's possible to insert valid numeric ranges for which
the difference overflows either numeric or float8.
The overflow may affect various operations on numrange columns. It may
cause failures during ANALYZE on the table, inserts into GiST indexes,
selectivity estimation, and possibly other operations.
Fixed by handling overflows in numrange_subdiff() - extreme differences
are treated as infinity.
