We have a few cases or reported issues which are about a timeout to parse
the input in 25 s. In all cases, the input is a few hundred kb. We don't really
care if the config parsers are super efficent, so let's set a limit on the input
size to avoid triggering such issues. The parsers often contain quadratic
algorithms. This is OK, because the numbers of elements are almost always very
small in real use. Rewriting the code to use more complicated data structures
to speed this up would not only complicate the code, but also pessimize behaviour
for the overwhelmingly common case of small samples. Note that in all those
cases, the input data is trusted. We care about memory correctness, and not
not so much about efficiency.
The size checks are done twice: using options for libfuzzer, and using an
internal check for afl. Those should be changed together. I didn't use a define,
because there is no easy mechanism to share the define between the two files.
This splits out a bunch of functions from fileio.c that have to do with
temporary files. Simply to make the header files a bit shorter, and to
group things more nicely.
No code changes, just some rearranging of source files.
