C++: Demonstrate range analysis MulExpr bugs

Unless these issues can be reproduced in far less contrived code, I
don't think they will cause problems in practice.

// This bug appears to be caused by
// `RangeAnalysisUtils::typeUpperBound(unsigned long)` having a result of
// 2**64 + 384, making the range analysis think that the multiplication can't
// overflow. The correct `typeUpperBound` would be 2**64 - 1, but we can't
// represent that with a QL float or int. We could make `typeUpperBound`
// exclusive instead of inclusive, but there is no exclusive upper bound for
// floats.
