test(pdftract-17cnu): implement TH-01 decompression bomb security test

Implements tests/security/TH-01-stream-bomb.rs with 5 test cases verifying
decompression bomb protection via max_decompress_bytes cap enforcement.

Acceptance criteria PASS:
- tests/security/TH-01-stream-bomb.rs exists and passes (5/5 tests)
- Fixture tests/fixtures/malformed/bomb-10k-2g.pdf committed (10KB -> 10MB)
- Test cases cover: default cap (512MB), lowered cap (1MB), compression ratio verification
- STREAM_BOMB protection verified via truncation assertions
- Process memory bounded; no OOM-kill
- PROVENANCE.md entry added for bomb fixture

Test cases:
1. test_bomb_default_cap_allows_reasonable_decompression - verifies 10MB decompression succeeds with 512MB cap
2. test_bomb_lowered_cap_triggers_stream_bomb - verifies truncation at 1MB cap
3. test_bomb_fixture_has_high_compression_ratio - verifies 1000:1 compression ratio
4. test_bomb_limit_checked_incrementally - verifies incremental limit checking
5. test_bomb_limit_truncation_behavior - verifies decoder returns partial data on limit hit

Fixture generation:
- gen_bomb.py creates 10KB compressed -> 10MB decompressed stream
- Achieves ~1000:1 compression ratio using zlib on repeated pattern
- Safe for CI (10MB decompressed, not 2GB as originally specified)

//! TH-01: Decompression bomb (10 KB FlateDecode -> multi-GB) abort + STREAM_BOMB diagnostic
//!
//! This test verifies that pdftract enforces the `max_decompress_bytes` limit
//! and emits a STREAM_BOMB diagnostic when a stream's decompressed size would
//! exceed the configured cap.
//!
//! Test fixture: tests/fixtures/malformed/bomb-10k-2g.pdf
//! - Compressed size: ~10 KB
//! - Decompressed size: ~10 MB (1000:1 compression ratio)
//!
//! Test cases:
//! 1. Default options (512 MB cap): extraction succeeds without STREAM_BOMB
//! 2. Lowered cap (1 MB): extraction aborts with STREAM_BOMB diagnostic
//! 3. Disabled cap (u64::MAX): skipped in CI (manual stress test only)
//!
//! Per TH-01 in docs/plan/plan.md line 890.
