Return the Integer value whose in-memory representation is the same as the left-most, most-significant-word of Long value vValue.

Examples:

    HIWORD(131073) = 2
    HIWORD(65538) = 1
    HIWORD(2147418112) = 32767

    CoerceTwoIntegersToLong Function

Note: Use the CoerceTwoIntegersToLong function to reconstruct a Long from two Integer values.
Note: Similar to but faster than using the MakeLong and CoerceToInteger functions.
