[PATCH 14/20] commit-graph: bounds-check base graphs chunk

From

When we are loading a commit-graph chain, we check that each slice of the chain points to the appropriate set of base graphs via its BASE chunk. But since we don't record the size of the chunk, we may access out-of-bounds memory if the file is corrupted.

Since we know the number of entries we expect to find (based on the position within the commit-graph-chain file), we can just check the size up front.

In theory this would also let us drop the st_mult() call a few lines later when we actually access the memory, since we know that the computed offset will fit in a size_t. But because the operands "g->hash_len" and "n" have types "unsigned char" and "int", we'd have to cast to size_t first. Leaving the st_mult() does that cast, and makes it more obvious that we don't have an overflow problem.

Note that the test does not actually segfault before this patch, since it just reads garbage from the chunk after BASE (and indeed, it even rejects the file because that garbage does not have the expected hash value). You could construct a file with BASE at the end that did segfault, but corrupting the existing one is easy, and we can check stderr for the expected message.
