Assert the destination buffer size in get_bytes

get_elements() only receives a raw pointer and cannot know the size of
its destination, so the destination-size guarantee is asserted at the
caller that owns the buffer: after resizing `result`, assert it has room
for `wanted` bytes at `old_size`. Together with the `copied <= wanted`
assert at the memcpy, this makes the "destination is large enough"
invariant explicit on both sides of the call.
