Due to how pg_size_pretty(bigint) was implemented, it's possible that when
given a negative number of bytes that the returning value would not match
the equivalent positive return value when given the equivalent positive
number of bytes.  This was due to two separate issues.

1. The function used bit shifting to convert the number of bytes into
larger units.  The rounding performed by bit shifting is not the same as
dividing.  For example -3 >> 1 = -2, but -3 / 2 = -1.  These two
operations are only equivalent with positive numbers.

2. The half_rounded() macro rounded towards positive infinity.  This meant
that negative numbers rounded towards zero and positive numbers rounded
away from zero.

Here we fix postgrespro#1 by dividing the values instead of bit shifting.  We fix postgrespro#2
by adjusting the half_rounded macro always to round away from zero.

Additionally, adjust the pg_size_pretty(numeric) function to be more
explicit that it's using division rather than bit shifting.  A casual
observer might have believed bit shifting was used due to a static
function being named numeric_shift_right.  However, that function was
calculating the divisor from the number of bits and performed division.
Here we make that more clear.  This change is just cosmetic and does not
affect the return value of the numeric version of the function.

Here we also add a set of regression tests both versions of
pg_size_pretty() which test the values directly before and after the
function switches to the next unit.

This bug was introduced in 8a1fab3. Prior to that negative values were
always displayed in bytes.

Currently the pc files use hard coded paths for "includedir" and
"libdir."

Example:

  Cflags: -I/usr/include
  Libs: -L/usr/lib -lpq

This is not very fortunate when cross compiling inside a buildroot,
where the includes and libs are inside a staging directory, because
this introduces host paths into the build:

  checking for pkg-config... /builder/shared-workdir/build/sdk/staging_dir/host/bin/pkg-config
  checking for PostgreSQL libraries via pkg_config... -L/usr/lib <----

This commit addresses this by doing the following two things:

  1. Instead of hard coding the paths in "Cflags" and "Libs"
     "${includedir}" and "${libdir}" are used.  Note: these variables
     can be overriden on the pkg-config command line
     ("--define-variable=libdir=/some/path").

  2. Add the variables "prefix" and "exec_prefix".  If "includedir"
     and/or "libdir" are using these then construct them accordingly.
     This is done because buildroots (for instance OpenWrt) tend to
     rename the real pkg-config and call it indirectly from a script
     that sets "prefix", "exec_prefix" and "bindir", like so:

     pkg-config.real --define-variable=prefix=${STAGING_PREFIX} \
       --define-variable=exec_prefix=${STAGING_PREFIX} \
       --define-variable=bindir=${STAGING_PREFIX}/bin $@

Example postgrespro#1: user calls ./configure with "--libdir=/some/lib" and
"--includedir=/some/include":

  prefix=/usr/local/pgsql
  exec_prefix=${prefix}
  libdir=/some/lib
  includedir=/some/include

  Name: libpq
  Description: PostgreSQL libpq library
  Url: http://www.postgresql.org/
  Version: 12.1
  Requires:
  Requires.private:
  Cflags: -I${includedir}
  Libs: -L${libdir} -lpq
  Libs.private:  -lcrypt -lm

Example postgrespro#2: user calls ./configure with no arguments:

  prefix=/usr/local/pgsql
  exec_prefix=${prefix}
  libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
  includedir=${prefix}/include

  Name: libpq
  Description: PostgreSQL libpq library
  Url: http://www.postgresql.org/
  Version: 12.1
  Requires:
  Requires.private:
  Cflags: -I${includedir}
  Libs: -L${libdir} -lpq
  Libs.private:  -lcrypt -lm

Like this the paths can be forced into the staging directory when
using a buildroot setup:

  checking for pkg-config... /home/sk/tmp/openwrt/staging_dir/host/bin/pkg-config
  checking for PostgreSQL libraries via pkg_config... -L/home/sk/tmp/openwrt/staging_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl/usr/lib
