intprops: shorten, to pacify gcc -Woverlength-strings

* lib/intprops.h (_GL_INT_CONVERT, _GL_INT_NEGATE_CONVERT):
(_GL_BINARY_OP_OVERFLOW): Say "0 * (x)" rather than "(x) - (x)",
so that, for example, verify (INT_MULTIPLY_OVERFLOW (...)) is less
likely to run afoul of C compiler limits for string constant lengths.
See <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-05/msg00528.html>.
