Without this patch, it was theoretically possible for a list
length to be a bignum, which means that safe-length could
signal an error (due to generating a too-large bignum) contrary
to its documentation. Fix things to remove the theoretical
possibility, so that list lengths are always fixnums (and so
that list lenghts are always ptrdiff_t values too, since that
is assumed internally anyway).
* src/alloc.c (Fcons): Do not allocate so many conses that
a list length won’t fit into ptrdiff_t or into fixnum.
This matters only on weird platforms; on typical platforms,
list lengths always fit anyway.
* src/fns.c (list_length, Fsafe_length, proper-list-p):
Remove integer overflow checks that are no longer needed.
