Surely this patch is far from complete?

To start with, just a few lines down in IdentifySystem() the column
is filled using Int32GetDatum not Int64GetDatum.  I will get some
popcorn and await the opinions of the 32-bit buildfarm animals.

But what about whatever code is reading the output?  And what if
that code isn't v16?  I can't believe that we can make a wire
protocol change as summarily as this.
