[llvm] r253921 - [Support] Add optional argument to SaturatingAdd() and SaturatingMultiply() to indicate that overflow occurred

After thinking about this a bit more I can see two benefits to Sean's
approach:

1) a pointer better advertises at the call site that the argument will be
modified
2) the implementation is smaller for optional arguments - once we add a
fused saturating multiply-add support function that means 6 vs 3 functions

Finally, it does appear that using a pointer in this situation is more
inline with common practice. For example, Google's C++ style guide:

https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Reference_Arguments
"...it is a very strong convention in Google code that input arguments are
values or const references while output arguments are pointers."
