attr: harden allocation against integer overflows When parsing an attributes line, we need to allocate an array that holds all attributes specified for the given file pattern. The calculation to determine the number of bytes that need to be allocated was prone to an overflow though when there was an unreasonable amount of attributes. Harden the allocation by instead using the `st_` helper functions that cause us to die when we hit an integer overflow.
