cindex: do not guess integer maximum for Xapian

We can return an array to allow the caller to omit the internal
`-m' arg entirely.  We'll also allow any non-positive values to
mean there's no limit; and we'll defer the "unlimited" case to
the XapHelper implementation.  This frees us of having to deal
with mismatches between Perl and Xapian if Xapian was compiled
with 64-bit docid support and we're stuck on a 32-bit Perl
build.
