I've made better patch for this.

It does not require additional php.ini and use proper API for
large object. (It has 32bit int issue on 32bit platforms, but this is
different issue like file IO)
Any comments?
I'll test it against older PostgreSQL and if there aren't problem,
I'll commit this to 5.6 and up in a few days.
