[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] Please review patch for 7105461

[Jim Graham]

This code doesn't protect against integer overflow.  We don't protect 
against it in many places, but it couldn't hurt to get in the habit.  I 
think the Region code has some methods that do safe addition of integers 
with simple limit clipping that would work fine for rectangle dimensions.

(JDK8 will be introducing new methods in Math for unsigned results and 
exact non-overflowing integer results as well, but that would complicate 
any backports to JDK7...)
