Andrew Kesterson 230278d303 Bound every array a data file can index
Closes Defects items 16 and 17 and Known-and-still-open item 6. All three let
an asset file, or a caller's argument, write past a fixed array.

akgl_sprite_load_json took its frame count straight from the document and wrote
that many entries into a 16-byte frameids -- through a uint32_t * cast of a
uint8_t *, so each write touched four bytes and the overrun reached four bytes
past the array, into the rest of akgl_Sprite and then the next pool slot. The
count is checked first now, each id is read into an int and narrowed
deliberately, and a frame number too large for a uint8_t is refused rather than
truncated into an index for a different tile.

The tilemap loader had the same shape twice: objects[j] with no check against
AKGL_TILEMAP_MAX_OBJECTS_PER_LAYER and tilesets[i] with none against
AKGL_TILEMAP_MAX_TILESETS. akgl_tilemap_load_layers already bounded its own
loop, so the pattern was in the same file. The object one is the reachable
half -- 128 objects is not a large object layer.

akgl_string_initialize zeroed sizeof(akgl_String) starting at `data`, which
begins after the refcount in front of it, so it ran four bytes past the end of
the object and onto the *next* slot's refcount -- the field the allocator reads
to decide whether a slot is free. Same file, same class, fixed with it:
akgl_string_copy accepted a count larger than the buffers, reading past one
pool slot and writing past another, which the header documented as behaviour.

Every case has a test that fails against the old code, with five new fixtures.
Exactly-the-maximum is asserted alongside one-past in each, so the bound cannot
be fixed by making the limit off by one.

25/25 pass, memcheck clean, reindent --check clean.

/**

* PATH_MAX-sized buffer claimed from the pool with akgl_heap_next_string and
* given back with akgl_heap_release_string. Capacity is fixed at compile time:
* these functions truncate rather than grow, and truncation is silent.
