security: fix integer overflow in safeAddToBufferSize on MSVC

The MSVC fallback path in safeAddToBufferSize() performed unchecked
arithmetic (type_size*nr*nc) on attacker-controlled values read from
.mjb binary model files. This could cause integer overflow, leading
to an undersized heap allocation followed by a heap buffer overflow
when data is copied into the buffer.

The fix adds manual overflow detection using SIZE_MAX/INTPTR_MAX
comparisons, matching the behavior of the existing __builtin_*_overflow
path used on GCC/Clang.

Also adds a regression test that crafts a binary model buffer with
overflow-inducing size fields and asserts safe rejection.
