[PATCH v3 02/14] nbd/client: Add safety check on chunk payload length

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

Our existing use of structured replies either reads into a qiov capped
at 32M (NBD_CMD_READ) or caps allocation to 1000 bytes (see
NBD_MAX_MALLOC_PAYLOAD in block/nbd.c).  But the existing length
checks are rather late; if we encounter a buggy (or malicious) server
that sends a super-large payload length, we should drop the connection
right then rather than assuming the layer on top will be careful.
This becomes more important when we permit 64-bit lengths which are
even more likely to have the potential for attempted denial of service
abuse.
