    ber: clamp BER lengths to avoid integer overflow
    
    Many callers treat the length as signed integer, so ensure that the
    length fits in such a number. Failure to do so can have unintended
    consequences (such as calling "tvb_memdup(tvb, 0, -1)" and assuming that
    the length is actually 2^32-1).
    
    Although an exception could be thrown as well, let's give the caller a
    chance to handle this themselves.
