Sorry, I think it's my mistake, it is the two functions above should be changed.

I change the 'encode' function, it needs an int64 return type, but keep other
functions in 'pg_encoding', because I think it of no necessary reason.

Well, I change all of them this time, because Tom Lane supports on next mail.

Done

It is my mistake as describe above, it should not be 'bitgetbit()/bitsetbit()'
to be changed.

Add two test cases.

I intend to test size large then 1G, and now I think you give a better idea and
followed.
