[PATCH 12/20] commit-graph.c: prevent overflow in add_graph_to_chain()

The commit-graph uses a fanout table with 4-byte entries to store the number of commits at each shard of the commit-graph. So it is OK to have a commit graph with as many as 2^32-1 stored commits. But we risk overflowing any computation which may exceed the 32-bit (unsigned) maximum when those computations are (incorrectly) performed using 32-bit operands.

There are a couple of spots in `add_graph_to_chain()` where we could potentially overflow the result:

  - First, when comparing the list of existing entries in the
    commit-graph chain. It is unlikely that this should ever overflow,
    since it would require having roughly 2^32-1/g->hash_len
    commit-graphs in the chain. But let's guard that computation with a
    `st_mult()` just to be safe.
  - Second, when computing the number of commits in the graph added to
    the front of the chain. This value is also a 32-bit unsigned, but we
    should make sure that it does not grow beyond the maximum value.
