#6005: ST_ProjectionBounds(:srid) function

It's sometimes useful to pass an extent that's known to contain all the
data of a given dataset to some function that takes a bounding box
parameter, but constructing such bounding box is not always practical. It
could be min-double, max-double I guess but such a bbox geometry might be
invalid for a given projection so I thought a function that returns the
largest bounding box geometry valid for a given SRS could be useful.
Proj does have such functionality:
