avcodec/pngdec: bound decompressed zTXt/iCCP size (decompression-bomb guard)

decode_zbuf() inflates zTXt (compressed text) and iCCP (ICC profile) chunk
payloads into an AVBPrint created with AV_BPRINT_SIZE_UNLIMITED and never
checks the decompressed size. A ~100 KB zTXt chunk of compressed zeros
expands to 100 MB; larger ratios or multiple chunks can exhaust memory.

Abort with AVERROR_INVALIDDATA once the decompressed output crosses a hard
cap (16 MiB).

Verified with a crafted PNG (1 KB compressed -> 100 MB decompressed): without
the patch the chunk fully decompresses, taking >100 MB; with the patch the
inflate loop aborts and the decoder logs "Compressed PNG chunk expands
beyond 16777216 bytes" / "Broken zTXt chunk" while the rest of the image
decodes normally.
