AVRO-4295: [csharp] Bound zero-byte collection elements per datum, not per
collection
The zero-byte-element item cap (array<null>-style elements that consume no
input,
which the bytes-remaining check cannot bound) was enforced per collection:
ReadArray/ReadMap and Skip each started their running total from zero. Because a
container file carries its own schema, an attacker can declare a record with
many
such collection fields, each block individually under the limit but jointly
unbounded, so a tiny payload still drives a huge aggregate allocation.
Track the cumulative zero-byte element count on the DefaultReader instance
(zeroByteItemsRead), reset at the start of each top-level Read<T>, and check it
in
EnsureCollectionAvailable (now an instance method). The structural and
bytes-remaining checks stay per collection. Adds regression tests for a
multi-field record rejected cumulatively and a within-limit record that still
decodes (resetting between datums).

> A bytes or string value is encoded as a length prefix followed by that many
> bytes of data, and an array or map block is encoded as an element count
> followed by that many items. A malicious or truncated input can declare a
> very large length or count while carrying little or no actual data, causing a
> large allocation before the shortfall is noticed. When the source can report
> how many bytes remain, reject a declared length (or a collection block count)
> that exceeds the bytes actually available before allocating for it. Companion
> to AVRO-4241 (Java).
> BinaryDecoder.RemainingBytes() reports the bytes still readable for a
> seekable stream; ReadBytes/ReadString consult it directly
> (EnsureAvailableBytes), while DefaultReader.ReadArray/ReadMap consult it via
> MinBytesPerElement(). EnsureCollectionAvailable tracks the cumulative count
> and enforces the limits, and the schema-resolution Skip path for arrays and
> maps is bounded the same way. Negative and out-of-range counts are rejected
> before the int cast.
> Zero-byte elements (null, or a record with only zero-byte fields) consume no
> input, so the available-bytes check cannot bound their count: a tiny payload
> such as {"type":"array","items":"null"} declaring a block count of
> 200,000,000 would otherwise drive an unbounded allocation. In addition to the
> available-bytes check this therefore caps the cumulative count of zero-byte
> elements (default 10,000,000), applies a structural cap (int.MaxValue - 8,
> further clamped to the runtime's maximum array length) to every
> non-zero-byte-element collection (which also covers collections read from a
> source that cannot report the bytes remaining), and bounds the array/map skip
> paths. When set, the AVRO_MAX_COLLECTION_ITEMS environment variable caps both
> limits.
