libpq: Deprecate pg_int64. Previously we used pg_int64 in three function prototypes in libpq. It was added by commit 461ef73f to expose the platform-dependent type used for int64 in the C89 era. As of commit 962da900 it is defined as standard int64_t, and the dust seems to have settled.
Let's just use int64_t directly in these three client-facing functions instead of (yet) another name. We've required C99 and thus <stdint.h> since PostgreSQL 12, C89 and C++98 compilers are long gone, and client applications very likely use standard types for their own 64-bit needs. This also cleans up the obscure placement of a new #include <stdint.h> directive in postgres_ext.h, required for the new definition. The typedef was hiding in there for historical reasons, but it doesn't fit postgres_ext.h's own description of its purpose and there is no evidence of client applications including postgres_ext.h directly to see it. Keep a typedef marked deprecated for backward compatibility, but move it into libpq-fe.h where it was used.
