vcs-svn: cap number of bytes read from sliding view

Introduce a "max_off" field in struct sliding_view, roughly
representing a maximum number of bytes that can be read from "file".
If it is set to a nonnegative integer, a call to move_window()
attempting to put the right endpoint beyond that offset will return
an error instead.

The idea is to use this when applying Subversion-format deltas to
prevent reads past the end of the preimage (which has known length).
Without such a check, corrupt deltas would cause svn-fe to block
indefinitely when data in the input pipe is exhausted.

vcs-svn: learn to maintain a sliding view of a file

Each section of a Subversion-format delta only requires examining (and
keeping in random-access memory) a small portion of the preimage.  At
any moment, this portion starts at a certain file offset and has a
well-defined length, and as the delta is applied, the portion advances
from the beginning to the end of the preimage.  Add a move_window
function to keep track of this view into the preimage.

You can use it like this:

	buffer_init(f, NULL);
	struct sliding_view window = SLIDING_VIEW_INIT(f);
	move_window(&window, 3, 7);	/* (1) */
	move_window(&window, 5, 5);	/* (2) */
	move_window(&window, 12, 2);	/* (3) */
	strbuf_release(&window.buf);
	buffer_deinit(f);

The data structure is called sliding_view instead of _window to
prevent confusion with svndiff0 Windows.

In this example, (1) reads 10 bytes and discards the first 3;
(2) discards the first 2, which are not needed any more; and (3) skips
2 bytes and reads 2 new bytes to work with.

When move_window returns, the file position indicator is at position
window->off + window->width and the data from positions window->off to
the current file position are stored in window->buf.

This function performs only sequential access from the input file and
never seeks, so it can be safely used on pipes and sockets.

On end-of-file, move_window silently reads less than the caller
requested.  On other errors, it prints a message and returns -1.
