Add `overflow_checks` intrinsic This adds an intrinsic which allows code in a pre-built library to inherit the overflow checks option from a crate depending on it. This enables code in the standard library to explicitly change behavior based on whether `overflow_checks` are enabled, regardless of the setting used when standard library was compiled. This is very similar to the `ub_checks` intrinsic, and refactors the two to use a common mechanism. The primary use case for this is to allow the new `RangeFrom` iterator to yield the maximum element before overflowing, as requested [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/125687#issuecomment-2151118208). This PR includes a working `IterRangeFrom` implementation based on this new intrinsic that exhibits the desired behavior.
