Add static assertion that RELSEG_SIZE fits in an int. Our configure script intended to ensure this, but it supposed that expr(1) would report an error for integer overflow. Maybe that was true when the code was written (commit 3c6248a82 of 2008-05-02), but all the modern expr's I tried will deliver bigger-than-int32 results without complaint. Moreover, if you use --with-segsize-blocks then there's no check at all. Ideally we'd add a test in configure itself to check that the value fits in int, but to do that we'd need to suppose that test(1) handles bigger-than-int32 numbers correctly. Probably modern ones do, but that's an assumption I could do without; and I'm not too trusting about meson either. Instead, let's install a static assertion, so that even people who ignore all the compiler warnings you get from such values will be forced to confront the fact that it won't work. This has been hazardous for awhile, but given that we hadn't heard a complaint about it till now, I don't feel a need to back-patch.
