overflow-arith: begin to add support for overflow builtin functions

The idea of the overflow-arith.h header is to collect overflow checking functions in one central place. If gcc compiler supports the __builtin_overflow_* builtins we use them because they might give better performance, otherwise the code falls back to normal overflow checking functions. The builtin_overflow functions are supported by gcc-5 and clang. The matter of supporting clang is to just provide a corresponding CC_HAVE_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW, because the specific overflow checking builtins don't differ between gcc and clang. I just provide overflow_usub function here as I intend this to get merged into net, more functions will definitely follow as they are needed.
