gh-97616: list_resize() checks for integer overflow (#97617)
Fix multiplying a list by an integer (list *= int): detect the integer overflow when the new allocated length is close to the maximum size. Issue reported by Jordan Limor. list_resize() now checks for integer overflow before multiplying the new allocated length by the list item size (sizeof(PyObject*)).
