Make the huge-claimed-length DoS regression tests portable across size_t widths

On a platform where size_t is narrower than 64 bits (e.g. 32-bit mingw/msvc
x86), the previously-hardcoded huge test lengths either collide with that
platform's unknown_size() sentinel (CBOR/MessagePack, both using exactly
SIZE_MAX) or exceed the platform's smaller vector<json>::max_size()
(UBJSON/BJData's 0x7FFFFFFF), so the header is now rejected outright
(out_of_range.408) instead of being accepted and only found short of data
(parse_error.110). Both are safe, bounded rejections of the hostile input;
the property under test -- no attempt to allocate space for billions of
elements -- holds either way. Accept both outcomes instead of pinning the
64-bit-only exact result.

Also fixed an unrelated clang-tidy finding (google-readability-casting) on
the functional-style std::size_t(...) casts in the neighboring "arrays of
various sizes" section.
