Fix overflows with ts_headline()

The options "StartSel", "StopSel" and "FragmentDelimiter" given by a
caller of the SQL function ts_headline() have their lengths stored as
int16.  When providing values larger than PG_INT16_MAX, it was possible
to overflow the length values stored, leading to incorrect behaviors in
generateHeadline(), in most cases translating to a crash.

Attempting to use values for these options larger than PG_INT16_MAX is
now blocked.  Some test cases are added to cover our tracks.
