Improve generation algorithm for database system identifier.
As noted some time ago, the original coding had a typo ("|" for "^")
that made the result less unique than intended. Even the intended
behavior is obsolete since it was based on wanting to produce a
usable value even if we didn't have int64 arithmetic --- a limitation
we stopped supporting years ago. Instead, let's redefine the system
identifier as tv_sec in the upper 32 bits (same as before), tv_usec
in the next 20 bits, and the low 12 bits of getpid() in the remaining
bits. This is still hardly guaranteed-universally-unique, but it's
noticeably better than before. Per my proposal at
