Review Comment:
   This is already handled as of commit 4f4f8f4de6: doDecodeItemCount now reads 
the block byte-size into `blockSize` and throws `Exception("Invalid negative 
block byte-size")` when it is < 0, so 
arrayStart()/arrayNext()/mapStart()/mapNext() reject it consistently with 
skipArray().
