  Issue #789290: make sure that hash(2**63) == hash(2.**63) on 64-bit
  platforms.  The previous code was fragile, depending on the twin
  accidents that:

    (1) in C, casting the double value 2.**63 to long returns the integer
        value -2**63, and
    (2) in Python, hash(-2**63) == hash(2**63).

  There's already a test for this in test_hash.
