The logic to decode varints isn't able to detect integer overflows: as
long as the buffer still has more data available, and as long as the
current byte has its 0x80 bit set, we'll continue to add up these values
to the result. This will eventually cause the `uint64_t` to overflow, at
which point we'll return an invalid result.
Refactor the function so that it is able to detect such overflows. The
implementation is basically copied from Git's own `decode_varint()`,
which already knows to handle overflows. The only adjustment is that we
also take into account the string view's length in order to not overrun
it.
While at it, refactor `put_var_int()` in the same way by copying over
the implementation of `encode_varint()`. While `put_var_int()` doesn't
have an issue with overflows, it generates warnings with -Wsign-compare.
The implementation of `encode_varint()` doesn't, is battle-tested and at
the same time way simpler than what we currently have.
