Fix extract epoch from interval calculation

The new numeric code for extract epoch from interval accidentally truncated the DAYS_PER_YEAR value to an integer, leading to results that mismatched the floating-point interval_part calculations. The commit a2da77c that introduced this actually contains the regression test change that this reverts. I suppose this was missed at the time.
