Validate client input to prevent panics from malformed transactions
A malicious or buggy client could send transaction fields with the wrong length and trigger runtime panics (slice/index out of range, slice-to-array conversion, nil deref) in the parsing and handler code. These were caught by the connection-level recover, so they dropped the client connection and dumped a stack trace to stdout rather than crashing the process, but they are still incorrect behavior, a log-flood vector, and a latent crash if the recover scope ever changes. Fix at the source and harden the safety net: - Add ClientIDFromBytes / ChatIDFromBytes helpers that return ok=false on a length mismatch, and use them in the transaction handlers instead of direct [2]byte(...) / [4]byte(...) conversions on field data. Nil-check ClientMgr.Get results, and length-guard FieldOptions and the HandleUpdateUser sub-field header. Malformed input now yields an error reply (or a clean no-op for reply-less handlers) instead of panicking. - Bounds-check FileResumeData.UnmarshalBinary (header length and fork count) and guard the ForkInfoList[0] accesses against an empty list. - Bounds-check FlatFileInformationFork parsing (reachable on upload): validate the fixed header, name, and comment lengths, and fix a latent 72+nameSize uint16 overflow. Route Write through UnmarshalBinary. - panic.go: stop printing stack traces to stdout (keep structured logging) so a client cannot flood stdout by repeatedly triggering a panic. - handleTransaction: recover per-transaction so one malformed request no longer tears down the whole client connection. Adds tests for the new helpers, the hardened resume-data and flat-file-object decoders, and handler-level malformed-ID handling.
