AF.3: bound the values a document stream decodes

A value takes about 40 bytes in memory however few it took in the file,
and a bool array packs eight in a byte, so a small, highly compressed
doc.dat could declare billions of values and make the import abort on
allocation (review on storytold/vectorcraft#667). The parser now counts
fields and array elements against a 2^24 budget before allocating, and
reserves array storage fallibly, returning Error::Limit either way.
The largest of 333 public documents decodes 3.3 million values.

Every size is checked before it is allocated: 256 MiB per archive entry and 1 GiB per import by
default (`Limits`), a 64 MiB zstd window, 4096 saved revisions, array lengths no longer than the
bytes left, 384 levels of object nesting, 128 levels of layers, 500 000 layers, four million curve
bytes left, 16 777 216 decoded values per document stream (fields and array elements together, counted before
anything is allocated: a value takes about 40 bytes in memory however few it took in the file; the largest of
333 public documents uses 3.3 million), 384 levels of object nesting, 128 levels of layers, 500 000 layers, four million curve
nodes per curve, 64 megapixels per pixel layer (cropped to its content first) and 1024 gradient
stops. Every archive entry's CRC-32 and size must match. Malformed input returns an `Error`; the
crate has no panics outside tests.
