    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).
