Hi,

v3:
 - reduce patches to just docs and new helpers; we don't need pointer fixes yet.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240130220218.it.154-kees@kernel.org/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240129182845.work.694-kees@kernel.org/

In preparation for gaining instrumentation for signed[1], unsigned[2], and
pointer[3] wrap-around, expand the overflow header to include wrap-around
helpers that can be used to annotate arithmetic where wrapped calculations
are expected (e.g. atomics).

After spending time getting the unsigned integer wrap-around sanitizer
running warning-free on a basic x86_64 boot[4], I think the *_wrap()
helpers first argument being the output type makes the most sense (as
suggested by Rasmus).
