Subject: [PATCH] headers: Be more robust against invalid input when
 parsing params

If you pass invalid input to a function such as soup_header_parse_param_list_strict()
it can cause an overflow if it decodes the input to UTF-8.

This should never happen with valid UTF-8 input which libsoup's client API
ensures, however it's server API does not currently.

CVE: CVE-2024-52531
Upstream-Status: Backport [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsoup/-/merge_requests/407/diffs?commit_id=a35222dd0bfab2ac97c10e86b95f762456628283]
