All the calls replaced by this commit use 4-byte integers for their variables used in input of my_log2(). Hence, the limit against too-large inputs does not really apply. Thresholds are also applied, as of: - In nodeAgg.c, the number of partitions is limited by HASHAGG_MAX_PARTITIONS. - In nodeHash.c, ExecChooseHashTableSize() caps its maximum number of buckets based on HashJoinTuple and palloc() allocation limit. - In worker.c, the number of subxacts tracked by ApplySubXactData uses uint32, making pg_ceil_log2_64() safe to use directly. Several approaches have been discussed, like an integration with thresholds in pg_bitutils.h, but it was found confusing. This uses Dean's idea, which gives a simpler result than what I came up with to be able to remove dynahash.h. dynahash.h will be removed in a follow-up commit, removing some duplication with the ceil log2 routines.
