Instead of testing len(slice)+numNewElements > cap(slice) use
uint(len(slice)+numNewElements) > uint(cap(slice)) to test
if a slice needs to be grown in an append operation.
This prevents a possible overflow when len(slice) is near the maximum
int value and the addition of a constant number of new elements
makes it overflow and wrap around to a negative number which is
smaller than the capacity of the slice.
Appending a slice to a slice with append(s1, s2...) already used
a uint comparison to test slice capacity and therefore was not
vulnerable to the same overflow issue.
