Fix 32-bit overflow in huge_string_t BSON length-overflow tests

huge_string_t doubles as basic_json's StringType, so it is used not only
for the JSON string value under test but also for object keys (e.g. "s",
"nested"). Making size() unconditionally lie about being huge therefore
inflated the keys' reported sizes as well, pushing the running totals
computed while walking the BSON document (calc_bson_object_size and
friends in binary_writer.hpp) past what a 32-bit std::size_t can hold.

On 64-bit platforms this happens to still produce a working (if
needlessly large) result, but on 32-bit platforms (e.g. the mingw x86 CI
job) the size_t arithmetic silently wraps around: for the "document" test
this merely surfaces the wrong number in the exception message, but for
the "string" test the wrapped total happens to fall back under
INT32_MAX, so the intended out_of_range.412 guard is skipped entirely and
the code goes on to actually write ~2 GiB worth of characters from the
key's real, tiny buffer - which is what raised the reported
"vector::_M_range_insert" exception instead of a controlled 412.

Make the fake-huge size opt-in via huge_string_t::as_huge() and only
apply it to the string value under test, leaving keys at their real
(small) size. This keeps every intermediate size well within 32-bit
size_t range on any platform, matching how huge_binary_t already avoids
the same trap (it is only ever used as the BSON value type, never as a
key). Expected out_of_range.412 messages are updated accordingly.

-@brief largest element count accepted for a UBJSON container of a valueless type

-An element of type 'Z' (null), 'T' (true) or 'F' (false) is encoded by its
-type marker alone, so an optimized container of one of those types has no
-payload at all and its declared count is the only thing that decides how much

-into that many values (see #2793, which reports 35 GB and 150 seconds). Every
-other type costs at least one byte per element and is bounded by the end of
-the input.
-
-This is a sanity bound rather than a security boundary, and it is far above
-any container met in practice. @ref binary_writer falls back to the
-unoptimized encoding for longer containers, so that a value serialized by
-this library can always be read back.

-@brief largest element count accepted for a UBJSON container of a valueless type
-
-An element of type 'Z' (null), 'T' (true) or 'F' (false) is encoded by its
-type marker alone, so an optimized container of one of those types has no
-payload at all and its declared count is the only thing that decides how much
-is allocated: `[$Z#L` followed by a large count turns some ten bytes of input
-into that many values (see #2793, which reports 35 GB and 150 seconds). Every
-other type costs at least one byte per element and is bounded by the end of
-the input.
-
-This is a sanity bound rather than a security boundary, and it is far above
-any container met in practice. @ref binary_writer falls back to the
-unoptimized encoding for longer containers, so that a value serialized by
-this library can always be read back.
