In preparation for replacing unchecked overflows for memory allocations,
this creates helpers for the 3 most common calculations:

array_size(a, b): 2-dimensional array
array3_size(a, b, c): 2-dimensional array
struct_size(ptr, member, n): struct followed by n-many trailing members

Each of these return SIZE_MAX on overflow instead of wrapping around.

(Additionally renames a variable named "array_size" to avoid future
collision.)

yeah... complete confusion...

...IDGI. array_size is/will most often be used to calculate the size of
a one-dimensional array, count*elemsize, accessed as foo[i]. Won't a
three-factor product usually be dim1*dim2*elemsize, i.e. 2-dimensional,
accessed (because C is lame) as foo[i*dim2 + j]?

struct s { int a; char b; char c[]; } has sizeof > offsetof(c), so for
small enough n, we end up allocating less than sizeof(struct s). And the
caller might reasonably do memset(s, 0, sizeof(*s)) to initialize all
members before c. In practice our allocators round up to a multiple of
8, so I don't think it's a big problem, but some sanitizer might
complain. But I do think you should make that addend sizeof() instead of
offsetof().

I was thinking of byte addressing, not object addressing. I can
rewrite this to be less confusing.

Erg. Yeah, I think we'd best "round up". Besides the "< sizeof()" vs
memset() case you mention, another pattern I've seen is doing stuff
like:

array = (array_type *)(thing + 1);

So if padding somehow caused us to under-allocate, we'll get it wrong there too.

I'll change this to be strictly sizeof(*(p)).

(Though it might be nice to enforce that "member" is at the end of the
structure, though, otherwise this could be misused for struct s { int
a; char c[2]; char b[]; } ... )
