Some platforms throw an exception for this division, rather than returning a necessarily-overflowed result. Since we were testing for overflow after the fact, an exception isn't nice. We can avoid the problem by treating division by -1 as negation. Add some regression tests so that we'll find out if any compilers try to optimize away the overflow check conditions. Back-patch of commit 1f7cb5c3. Per discussion with Xi Wang, though this is different from the patch he submitted.
