Check for buffer and string overflow more precisely.
* buffer.h (BUF_BYTES_MAX): New macro. * lisp.h (STRING_BYTES_MAX): New macro. * alloc.c (Fmake_string): * character.c (string_escape_byte8): * coding.c (coding_alloc_by_realloc): * doprnt.c (doprnt): * editfns.c (Fformat): * eval.c (verror): Use STRING_BYTES_MAX, not MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM, since they may not be the same number. * editfns.c (Finsert_char): * fileio.c (Finsert_file_contents): Likewise for BUF_BYTES_MAX.
