Add overflow-safe math inline functions for unsigned integers
Similarly to the signed versions added in 4d6ad31, this adds a set of
inline functions for overflow checks with unsigned integers, including
uint16, uint32 and uint64. This relies on compiler built-in overflow
checks by default if available. The behavior of unsigned integers is
well-defined so the fallback implementations checks are simple for
additions and subtractions. Multiplications avoid division-based checks
which are expensive if possible, still this can happen for uint64 if
128-bit integers are not available.
While on it, the code in common/int.h is reorganized to avoid too many
duplicated comments. The new macros will be used in a follow-up patch.
All thanks to Andres Freund for the input provided.
