[issue41458] Avoid overflow/underflow in math.prod()

[Pablo Galindo Salgado]

I think what Raymond proposes makes sense and it will certainly add value, especially given the mentioned expectations on what an implementation on the stdlib should have. The only think I would like to know is how much code/measured performance impact this will have. I expect this not to be a problem but I think is an important factor to help us decide.
