Limit how much fetch and check read for a manifest or a file (closes #168)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

NewManifestFromReader reads at most one byte past MaxManifestSize, a new
constant of 258 MiB: the 256 MiB decompressed limit grown by zstd's worst
case of 1/256, plus 1 MiB for the signature, the signing key and the
other outer fields. It refuses a larger manifest. fetch, and check given
a URL, stop downloading a manifest one byte past the same size and report
it as too large; tests lower that size to keep their memory small. fetch
stops reading a file one byte past its listed size, so a longer body ends
in the size mismatch at once instead of filling the disk. docs/FORMAT.md
states the limit and gives the decompressed limit as 256 MiB, the size
the code uses.

manifest file larger than 258 MiB without reading the rest of it: zstd's worst
