xalloc-oversized: port to GCC 7; fewer warnings GCC 7 will have a better way to deal with integer overflow. Plus, fix a warnings problem reported by Tim Ruehsen in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2016-06/msg00022.html * lib/xalloc-oversized.h (__xalloc_oversized): New macro. (xalloc_oversized): Use plain __builtin_mul_overflow if GCC 7 or later. For GCC 5, use __xalloc_oversized if both args are constants, or if pedantic.
