safemath: Add some arithmetic primitives that check for overflow

This adds a new header, include/grub/safemath.h, that includes easy to
use wrappers for __builtin_{add,sub,mul}_overflow() declared like:

  bool OP(a, b, res)

where OP is grub_add, grub_sub or grub_mul. OP() returns true in the
case where the operation would overflow and res is not modified.
Otherwise, false is returned and the operation is executed.

These arithmetic primitives require newer compiler versions. So, bump
these requirements in the INSTALL file too.
