Check the declared BSON document size before reading its content

The BSON reader compared a document's declared size with the number of bytes
read only when it reached the terminator. The declared size never bounded
the reads, so a SAX handler saw the keys and values of a document whose size
was too small before parse error 112 was reported.

The container frame now stores the position where the document ends
according to its declared size. open_bson_document rejects a size below 5
(size prefix plus terminator) and an embedded document that does not end
before the terminator of its enclosing document; the element loop rejects an
element whose type byte leaves no room for the name terminator and the
document terminator. The terminator check stays and still catches a declared
size that is too large. No input that was accepted before is rejected now;
documents with a wrong size are reported earlier, with fewer SAX events, a
different byte position and, in three cases, a different message. The error
id (parse_error.112) is unchanged and strict=false still does not skip the
check.

The tests that asserted the old messages and positions are updated, with the
outer sizes of two inputs corrected so that they still exercise the embedded
document. New tests cover the SAX events, a size below 5, and an embedded
document that fits exactly.
