Avoid gratuitous inaccuracy in numeric width_bucket(). Multiply before dividing, not the reverse, so that cases that should produce exact results do produce exact results. (width_bucket_float8 got this right already.) Even when the result is inexact, this avoids making it more inexact, since only the division step introduces any imprecision. While at it, fix compute_bucket() to not uselessly repeat the sign check already done by its caller, and avoid duplicating the multiply/divide steps by adjusting variable usage. Per complaint from Martin Visser. Although this seems like a bug fix, I'm hesitant to risk changing width_bucket()'s results in stable branches, so no back-patch.
