Enforce a maximum max_rightward of OUTBUF_SIZE-1, because it is used in
constructs such as "snprintf(outbuf, max_rightward+1," (we could remove
the extra check at the beginning of forest_helper() now, but we decided
to leave it, as a precaution and reminder).
The minimum max_rightward check is not strictly needed, because it is
unsigned. However, we decided to add it anyway:
- most of the other variables are signed;
- make it visually clear that this case is properly handled;
- ideally, the minimum max_rightward should be 1, not 0 (to prevent
integer overflows such as "max_rightward-1"), but this might change
the behavior/output of ps, so we decided against it, for now.
Instead, we fixed the only function that overflows if max_rightward is
0. Also, enforce the same safe range for max_leftward, although it is
never used throughout the code-base.
