Mir: introduce overflow operations #29769

Description

@nikomatsakis

Currently the MIR doesn't handle overflow. My intended design was to add 'overflow operations' that yield a tuple (overflow-flag, result). This is roughly how LLVM does things. We would then check for overflow and panic if it occurs. @Aatch independently described this design as option 3.
