Subject: [PATCH] gbytearray: Do not accept too large byte arrays

GByteArray uses guint for storing the length of the byte array, but it
also has a constructor (g_byte_array_new_take) that takes length as a
gsize. gsize may be larger than guint (64 bits for gsize vs 32 bits
for guint). It is possible to call the function with a value greater
than G_MAXUINT, which will result in silent length truncation. This
may happen as a result of unreffing GBytes into GByteArray, so rather
be loud about it.

(Test case tweaked by Philip Withnall.)

(Backport 2.66: Add #include gstrfuncsprivate.h in the test case for
`g_memdup2()`.)
