UBJSON/BJData/MessagePack reader: reject a container count equal to SIZE_MAX (#6002)

* UBJSON/BJData reader: reject a container count equal to SIZE_MAX

The reader marks a container whose count is not known by npos, which
is SIZE_MAX. A count of exactly that value was stored unchanged and
then read as "no count", so the BJData input

    [ # M ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff i 01 ]

parsed as [1] instead of throwing out_of_range.408 as a count of
2^64-2 does. Where size_t is 32 bits, the same holds for 'm' and 'L'
counts of 2^32-1, in UBJSON too.

The counts of 'm', 'M' and the signed types now go through
store_ubjson_count(), which rejects npos with "integer value overflow"
(the message a count beyond size_t already gets), as the CBOR reader
does in get_cbor_container_size(). An ND-array dimension of 2^64-1 gets
the same message now, where it was "excessive ndarray size caused
overflow" (the product check) on 64-bit platforms.

* MessagePack reader: reject an array/map 32 length equal to SIZE_MAX

On a platform with a 32-bit std::size_t, an array 32 or map 32 length of
0xFFFFFFFF equals unknown_size(), so start_array()/start_object() were
told the size was unknown and skipped the max_size() check. Route both
through the CBOR length check, renamed get_container_size(), which
already rejects that value.
