fix(bf-49wmw): fix PNG-predictor unbounded pre-allocation

- Remove Vec::with_capacity(num_rows * row_size) pre-allocation in apply_png_predictors
- Remove Vec::with_capacity(data.len()) pre-allocation in apply_tiff_predictor_2
- Add MAX_ROW_BYTES (64 KB) to bound row size calculation
- Add is_row_size_clamped() check to detect suspicious PDF parameters
- Add max_output parameter to predictor functions for budget enforcement
- Track flate output separately, count predictor output against doc_counter
- Lower DEFAULT_MAX_DECOMPRESS_BYTES from 2GB to 512MiB

Row-by-row processing ensures peak memory stays at 2x stride regardless
of image height, preventing OOM from malicious PDF parameters.

+# bf-49wmw: Fix PNG-predictor unbounded pre-allocation
+
+## Summary
+Fixed OOM root cause in PNG/TIFF predictor application by removing unbounded pre-allocation and implementing row-by-row processing with budget enforcement.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Added MAX_ROW_BYTES constant (64 KB)
+- Bounds row size calculation to prevent OOM from malicious PDF parameters
+- Ensures peak memory stays at 2x stride (prev_row + current_row)
+
+### 2. Added is_row_size_clamped() check
+- Returns true when calculated row_size exceeds MAX_ROW_BYTES
+- Functions return data as-is rather than risking incorrect decoding when parameters are suspicious
+
+### 3. apply_png_predictors() changes
+- Removed `Vec::with_capacity(num_rows * row_size)` pre-allocation
+- Now uses `Vec::new()` and grows row-by-row
+- Added `max_output` parameter for budget enforcement
+- Checks budget before processing each row
+- Returns partial data when budget exceeded
+
+### 4. apply_tiff_predictor_2() changes
+- Removed `Vec::with_capacity(data.len())` pre-allocation
+- Now uses `Vec::new()` and grows row-by-row
+- Added `max_output` parameter for budget enforcement
+- Checks budget before processing each row
+- Returns partial data when budget exceeded
+
+### 5. FlateDecoder changes
+- Tracks flate output separately from predictor output
+- Counts final predictor output against doc_counter (not flate bytes)
+- Passes remaining budget to predictor via `predictor_budget`
+
+### 6. Lowered DEFAULT_MAX_DECOMPRESS_BYTES
+- Changed from 2 GB to 512 MiB for more reasonable default
+
+## Verification
+
+### Tests PASS
+- All 31 predictor tests pass
+- test_flate_decode_bomb_limit_with_predictor - verifies budget enforcement
+- test_flate_decode_performance_100mb - verifies performance characteristics
+- test_predictor_multiple_rows_tiff - verifies TIFF predictor
+- All PNG predictor tests (10/11/12/13/14/15) - verifies row-by-row processing
+
+### Code Review
+- No remaining `Vec::with_capacity(data.len())` or `Vec::with_capacity(num_rows * row_size)` patterns
+- All other decoders (ASCII85, ASCIIHex, Passthrough) already use incremental growth
+- Peak memory bounded to 2x stride (MAX_ROW_BYTES = 64 KB) regardless of image height
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] Row-by-row processing (peak 2x stride)
+- [x] Output counted against max_decompress_bytes
+- [x] Never pre-size to claimed/decompressed length
+- [x] Same discipline for apply_tiff_predictor_2
+- [x] All Vec::with_capacity(data.len()) sites addressed
