libpayload: lz4: Add output overrun check to incompressible case
The LZ4 decompressor currently doesn't check for output overruns before writing data in the case where a block had been incompressible (and included verbatim in the compression stream). This is extremely unlikely with the default 4MB blocks, but still a nice thing to fix. We'll still output as much data as we can before returning an error to support partial decompression use cases.
This matches the behavior already in place for normal, LZ4-compressed blocks where the decompression function is already (supposed to be) doing complete bounds checking (although it is not guaranteed to output all valid bytes before aborting on an output overrun, and you should try to provide a few dozen bytes of extra buffer space beyond the parts you're interested in on partial decompression).
