QCborStreamReader: avoid allocating result if data is insufficient

By calling the internal readStringChunk() function with a QByteArray
pointer, QCborStreamReader::readByteArray() can now avoid allocating the
resulting buffer until the internals have confirmed that there is
sufficient data in the incoming buffer. As a result, we first detect the
EOF condition before we conclude the payload would have been too big for
QByteArray (validation()) test. Meanwhile, the hugeDeviceValidation()
test ends up with a few conditions where it would have copied 1 GB of
data, so limit that too.

We make a choice of reporting OOM vs DataTooLarge only if QByteArray
fails to allocate in the first place (QByteArray::resize() ->
Q_CHECK_PTR -> qBadAlloc, QtCore is always built with exceptions on).

The QCborValue unit test needed a temporary work around until we apply
the same allocation fix (see next commit).
