grepping INT64_MAX shows a lot of hits in the codebase, so it's safe to
use. Also, int64_t is used in hundreds of files whereas long long is
used in about seven.

C guarantees that long long is at least 64bits so int64_t should be ok
for this patch, but in any case wait for someone else to comment before
sending a new patch.
