rS305486: bspatch: add sanity checks on sizes to avoid integer overflow

Summary

Note that on i386 this introduces a new 2GB limit, but this is not a concern in practice. Also avoid allocating an extra byte in the old and new file content buffers.

Based on the "NON-CRYPTANALYTIC ATTACKS AGAINST FREEBSD UPDATE COMPONENTS" gist.

76–77	On i386 ssize_t is 4 bytes, so would truncate from offtin / lseek.
123	`SSIZE_MAX` introduces a 2G limit, but we already had an implicit 2G limit for proper operation based on the previous newsize type.
155	Same 2G argument as above.
