commit-graph: detect out-of-bounds extra-edges pointers

If an entry in a commit-graph file has more than 2 parents, the
fixed-size parent fields instead point to an offset within an "extra
edges" chunk. We blindly follow these, assuming that the chunk is
present and sufficiently large; this can lead to an out-of-bounds read
for a corrupt or malicious file.

We can fix this by recording the size of the chunk and adding a
bounds-check in fill_commit_in_graph(). There are a few tricky bits:

  1. We'll switch from working with a pointer to an offset. This makes
     some corner cases just fall out naturally:

      a. If we did not find an EDGE chunk at all, our size will
         correctly be zero (so everything is "out of bounds").

      b. Comparing "size / 4" lets us make sure we have at least 4 bytes
         to read, and we never compute a pointer more than one element
         past the end of the array (computing a larger pointer is
         probably OK in practice, but is technically undefined
         behavior).

      c. The current code casts to "uint32_t *". Replacing it with an
         offset avoids any comparison between different types of pointer
         (since the chunk is stored as "unsigned char *").

  2. This is the first case in which fill_commit_in_graph() may return
     anything but success. We need to make sure to roll back the
     "parsed" flag (and any parents we might have added before running
     out of buffer) so that the caller can cleanly fall back to
     loading the commit object itself.

     It's a little non-trivial to do this, and we might benefit from
     factoring it out. But we can wait on that until we actually see a
     second case where we return an error.

As a bonus, this lets us drop the st_mult() call. Since we've already
done a bounds check, we know there won't be any integer overflow (it
would imply our buffer is larger than a size_t can hold).

The included test does not actually segfault before this patch (though
you could construct a case where it does). Instead, it reads garbage
from the next chunk which results in it complaining about a bogus parent
id. This is sufficient for our needs, though (we care that the fallback
succeeds, and that stderr mentions the out-of-bounds read).
