overflow: Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type()



Implement a robust overflows_type() macro to test if a variable or
constant value would overflow another variable or type. This can be
used as a constant expression for static_assert() (which requires a
constant expression[1][2]) when used on constant values. This must be
constructed manually, since __builtin_add_overflow() does not produce
a constant expression[3].

Additionally adds castable_to_type(), similar to __same_type(), but for
checking if a constant value would overflow if cast to a given type.

Add unit tests for overflows_type(), __same_type(), and castable_to_type()
to the existing KUnit "overflow" test:
