[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] lavc/vvc: Add max parameter to kth_order_egk_decode

Prior to this patch, kth_order_egk_decode could read arbitrarily
large values which then overflowed and caused various issues.
Patch fixes this by making kth_order_egk_decode falliable,
requiring the caller to specify an upper bound and returning an
error if the read value would exceed that bound.

This patch resolves the same issue as
eb52251c0ab025b6b40b28994bc9dc616813b190, but I think this is the proper
fix as it also addresses issues with syntax elements besides
ff_vvc_num_signalled_palette_entries.

Patch also includes a minor fix in hls_palette_coding, where the
error code returned by palette_subblock_data was previously unchecked.

Changes since v1:
* Split change to hls_palette_coding to its own commit.
* Return values from syntax functions in return val, rather than by
  modifying pointer parameter.
