[ Upstream commit 5efcecd9a3b18078d3398b359a84c83f549e22cf ]
The clamp family of functions only makes sense if hi>=lo. If hi and lo
are compile-time constants, then raise a build error. Doing so has
already caught buggy code. This also introduces the infrastructure to
improve the clamping function in subsequent commits.
