Describe the bug

See https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/423

1. Nix currently behaves by overflowing.
2. Overflowing is UB, but predictable, so a few users might rely on it without difficulties such as impurities showing through hashes and substitution

Steps To Reproduce

nix-repl> 500000000*50000000000

Expected behavior

I'm inclined to make it throw instead.
If that is a problem, we may revisit. Have some thoughts on how; see https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/423#issuecomment-4604

nix-env --version output
