Fix three network-facing overflows in the FTP and Java parsers

get_ftp_line() copied a server reply byte-by-byte into a fixed char[1024]
with no index bound, so a hostile or MITM FTP server could smash the stack
with an over-long CRLF-less line. Bound the write and truncate.

The ftp:// userinfo parser copied "user:pass@" into user[256]/pass[256] with
two unbounded loops, overflowing from a long userinfo supplied by a hostile
ftp:// link. Extract the split into ftp_split_userpass(), which truncates
each field to fit.

The Java .class parser did calloc(header.count, sizeof(RESP_STRUCT)) on an
attacker-controlled u2 count, allocating ~68 MB per crafted class (DoS). Cap
the count to the file size (each constant-pool entry is at least one byte on
disk) via a new hts_count_fits() guard, and move the alloc/free to the
bounds-checked calloct/freet wrappers.

Self-tests: ftp-line drives get_ftp_line over a socketpair with a 4 KB reply,
ftp-userpass feeds an over-long userinfo, java exercises the count cap. The
first two abort under ASan on the pre-fix code.
