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. Patch by Victor Stinner.

.. nonce: Yggdsl
.. section: Security
On Linux the :mod:`multiprocessing` module returns to using filesystem
backed unix domain sockets for communication with the *forkserver* process
instead of the Linux abstract socket namespace. Only code that chooses to
use the :ref:`"forkserver" start method <multiprocessing-start-methods>` is
affected.
Abstract sockets have no permissions and could allow any user on the system
in the same `network namespace
<https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/network_namespaces.7.html>`_ (often
the whole system) to inject code into the multiprocessing *forkserver*
process. This was a potential privilege escalation. Filesystem based socket
permissions restrict this to the *forkserver* process user as was the
default in Python 3.8 and earlier.
This prevents Linux `CVE-2022-42919
<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-42919>`_.

Change the jump opcodes so that all conditional jumps are forward jumps.
Backward jumps are converted by the assembler into a conditional forward
jump whose target is the fallthrough block (and with a reversed condition),
followed by an unconditional backward jump. For example:
``POP_JUMP_IF_TRUE BACKWARD_TARGET`` becomes ``POP_JUMP_IF_FALSE NEXT_BLOCK;
JUMP BACKWARD_TARGET``.
All the directed conditional jump opcodes were removed:
``POP_JUMP_FORWARD_IF_TRUE``, ``POP_JUMP_BACKWARD_IF_TRUE``,
``POP_JUMP_FORWARD_IF_FALSE``, ``POP_JUMP_BACKWARD_IF_FALSE``,
``POP_JUMP_FORWARD_IF_NONE``, ``POP_JUMP_BACKWARD_IF_NONE``,
``POP_JUMP_FORWARD_IF_NOT_NONE``, ``POP_JUMP_BACKWARD_IF_NOT_NONE``.
The corresponding opcodes without direction are no longer
pseudo-instructions, and they implement the forward conditional jumps.
