Check for relation length overrun soon enough.
We don't allow relations to exceed 2^32-1 blocks, because block numbers are 32 bits and the last possible block number is reserved to mean InvalidBlockNumber. There is a check for this in mdextend, but that's really way too late, because the smgr API requires us to create a buffer for the block-to-be-added, and we do not want to have any buffer with blocknum InvalidBlockNumber. (Such a case can trigger assertions in bufmgr.c, plus I think it might confuse ReadBuffer's logic for data-past-EOF later on.) So put the check into ReadBuffer. Per report from Christoph Berg. It's been like this forever, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/YTn1iTkUYBZfcODk@msg.credativ.de
