Jeff Epler a809132921 py: Add MICROPY_USE_GCC_MUL_OVERFLOW_INTRINSIC. ...

Most MCUs apart from Cortex-M0 with Thumb 1 have an instruction
for computing the "high part" of a multiplication (e.g., the upper
32 bits of a 32x32 multiply).

When they do, gcc uses this to implement a small and fast
overflow check using the __builtin_mul_overflow intrinsic, which
is preferable to the guard division method previously used in smallint.c.

However, in contrast to the previous mp_small_int_mul_overflow
routine, which checks that the result fits not only within mp_int_t
but is SMALL_INT_FITS(), __builtin_mul_overflow only checks for
overflow of the C type. As a result, a slight change in the code
flow is needed for MP_BINARY_OP_MULTIPLY.

Other sites using mp_small_int_mul_overflow already had the
result value flow through to a SMALL_INT_FITS check so they didn't
need any additional changes.

Do similarly for the _ll and _ull multiply overflows checks.
