host-utils: Use __int128_t for mul[us]64

Replace some x86_64 specific inline assembly with something that
all 64-bit hosts ought to optimize well.  At worst this becomes
a call to the gcc __multi3 routine, which is no worse than our
implementation in util/host-utils.c.

With gcc 4.7, we get identical code generation for x86_64.  We
now get native multiplication on ia64 and s390x hosts.  With minor
improvements to gcc we can get it for ppc64 as well.
