[PATCH] wc: diagnose overflow of total counts

[Pádraig Brady]

* src/wc.c (wc): Use INT_ADD_WRAPV() to detect overflow.
(main): Upon overflow, saturate the total, print a diagnostic,
and set exit status.
* tests/misc/wc-total.sh: Add a test case, which operates
on BTRFS and 64 bit systems at least.

   [bug introduced in coreutils-9.2]
 
+  wc will now diagnose if any total counts have overflowed.
+  [This bug was present in "the beginning".]
