This makes all integer type conversions that have potential data loss explicit with calls that do range checks and raise an exception. After this commit, qpdf builds with no warnings when -Wsign-conversion -Wconversion is used with gcc or clang or when -W3 -Wd4800 is used with MSVC. This significantly reduces the likelihood of potential crashes from bogus integer values. There are some parts of the code that take int when they should take size_t or an offset. Such places would make qpdf not support files with more than 2^31 of something that usually wouldn't be so large. In the event that such a file shows up and is valid, at least qpdf would raise an error in the right spot so the issue could be legitimately addressed rather than failing in some weird way because of a silent overflow condition.

This provides better test coverage and more useful code for people to read and copy.
-
This commit adds several API methods that enable control over which types of filters QPDF will attempt to decode. It also adds support for /RunLengthDecode and /DCTDecode filters for both encoding and decoding.
-
For std::string and std::vector, replace operator[] with at. This was done using an automated process. See README.hardening for details.
-
Breaking API change: length parameter has disappeared from the StreamDataProvider version of QPDFObjectHandle::replaceStreamData since it is no longer necessary to compute it in advance. This breaking change is justified by the fact that removing the length parameter provides the caller an opportunity to simplify the calling code.
-
This makes the code simpler than having to create a buffer of a fixed size and copy the string to it.
