The double `(double)count * prof_factor * method_life / counter_life + 0.5`
can overflow a 32-bit int, causing UB on casting, but in practice computing
a wrong scale, probably.

We just need to compare that the cast is not going to overflow. This is possible
because `INT_MAX` is exactly representable in a `double`. It is also good to
notice that the expression `(double)count * prof_factor * method_life / counter_life + 0.5`
cannot overflow a `double`:
- `count` is a int, max value = 2^31-1 < 2.2e9
- `method_lie` is a int, max value < 2.2e9
- `prof_factor` is a float, max value < 3.5e38
- `counter_life` is a int, positive at this point, so min value = 1
So, the whole expression is bounded by 16.94e56 + 0.5, which is much smaller than the
max value of a double (about 1.8e308). We probably would have precision issues, but
it probably doesn't matter a lot.

The semantic I picked here is basically `min(INT_MAX, count_d)`, so it'd always fit.

Thanks,
Marc
