builtin/repack.c: be more conservative with unsigned overflows
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There are a number of places in the geometric repack code where we
multiply the number of objects in a pack by another unsigned value. We
trust that the number of objects in a pack is always representable by a
uint32_t, but we don't necessarily trust that that number can be
multiplied without overflow.

Sprinkle some unsigned_add_overflows() and unsigned_mult_overflows() in
split_pack_geometry() to check that we never overflow any unsigned types
when adding or multiplying them.

Arguably these checks are a little too conservative, and certainly they
do not help the readability of this function. But they are serving a
useful purpose, so I think they are worthwhile overall.
