Avoid use of float arithmetic in bipartite_match.c.
Since the distances used in this algorithm are small integers (not more
than the size of the U set, in fact), there is no good reason to use float
arithmetic for them. Use short ints instead: they're smaller, faster, and
require no special portability assumptions.
Per testing by Greg Stark, which disclosed that the code got into an
infinite loop on VAX for lack of IEEE-style float infinities. We don't
really care all that much whether Postgres can run on a VAX anymore,
but there seems sufficient reason to change this code anyway.
In passing, make a few other small adjustments to make the code match
usual Postgres coding style a bit better.
