Bound UBJSON optimized arrays of a valueless type

Browse Source 
An element of type 'Z' (null), 'T' (true) or 'F' (false) is encoded by its
type marker alone, so an optimized UBJSON array of one of those has no
payload: reading an element consumes no input at all. Its declared count is
therefore the only thing that decides how much is allocated, and nothing
bounded it. "[$Z#l" and a four-byte count is nine bytes of input describing
two billion values; #2793 reports 35 GB and 150 seconds from ten bytes, and
OSS-Fuzz has an out-of-memory and a timeout report for the same shape.

Every other type costs at least one byte per element, so the end of the input
bounds it. 'N' (no-op) is already skipped rather than stored. Objects are not
affected either: each element is preceded by its key, which costs bytes. And
BJData already refuses these markers as an optimized type, so this is a plain
UBJSON matter.

Reject a count above 1,048,576 elements for those three types with
out_of_range.408, the code this reader already uses for a declared size it
will not honour. The check runs before the SAX start event, so no container
is opened and then abandoned.

Rejecting on the read side alone would break the guarantee that anything
to_ubjson() writes can be read back, and would trip the round-trip assertion
in fuzzer-parse_ubjson.cpp. So the writer falls back to the unoptimized
encoding, one byte per element, for arrays of these types above the same
limit. Its decision depends only on the array's size, which is identical for
a value and for anything parsed back from it, so the round trip is stable.

No existing test changes: the largest such count in the test suite is 65,793.
The excessive-size test that already used this shape still passes, now
rejected a little earlier than by the max_size() check it used to reach.
