Use checked unsigned multiplication extension of GCC/Clang

Most processors have carry flags which they set on addition overflow, so
it is a good idea to access them whenever possible. Most of them also
have widening multiply instructions that can be used to detect overflow
of the non-widening version. Both GCC and Clang offer a way to detect an
overflow for security critical applications.
