Fix CVE-2016-5434 (DoS/loop and out of boundary read)
This is a rewrite of Tobias Stoeckmann’s patch from June 2016[1] using functions instead of macros. (Thanks to Tobias for explanations of his patch.) A short question on Freenode IRC showed that macros are generally discouraged and functions should be used. The patch introduces a static size_t length_check() in libalpm/signing.c.
