SF bug #488480: integer multiply to return -max_int-1.
int_mul(): new and vastly simpler overflow checking. Whether it's
faster or slower will likely vary across platforms, favoring boxes
with fast floating point. OTOH, we no longer have to worry about
people shipping broken LONG_BIT definitions <0.9 wink>.
