 See #101313 for general discription.

 On IRC, bobnomnom notes a similar issue with
 channel_tls_process_certs_cells. In this case, the compiler can't easily
 optimize the pointer comparison away, so we don't need to worry about
 that, but technically speaking we might be constructing a pointer that
 wraps around ((void*)-1), which would give incorrect results.

 And undefined behavior is very bad.  So let's just fix this.  Let's hunt
 for other places it occurs too.
