[PATCH v2 1/2] url: do not read past end of buffer

From: Matthew DeVore <matvore@google.com>

Message-ID: <9628f0bfeda578a1c7d157d61b87f5c430567d74.1559670300.git.matvore@google.com>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1559670300.git.matvore@google.com>

url_decode_internal could have been tricked into reading past the length of the **query buffer if there are fewer than 2 characters after a % (in a null-terminated string, % would have to be the last character). Prevent this from happening by checking len before decoding the % sequence.
