Michael Paquier 7dedfd22b7 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.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
