BIP62 states number is strictly limited 4 byte int range, but it breaks forward compatibility with BIP65 as now. Add exception case of locktime number(which can be up to 2**32-1) to correct.

BIP 62 has been withdrawn. I’m not sure it makes sense to continue work on it. cc: @sipa

NACK, this is changing the proposal. While it would be right to include this change is this were proposed today, that’s not the case, because as @murchandamus points out it is withdrawn.
