Casting from floating point to integer is undefined for values that exceed the valid range of the target integer type and this results in failure of test `assert(not pcall(string.format, "%d", 2^63))` in lua-tests for aarch64. Replace with a safer test for value ranges that does not rely on the cast from float to integer.
