commonlib/cbfs: Fix minor parser edge cases
This patch fixes a few minor CBFS parsing edge cases that could lead to unintended behavior: the CBFS attribute parser could have run into an infinite loop if an attribute's length was (accidentally or maliciously) invalid. A length of 0 would have caused it to read the same attribute over and over again without making forward progress, while a very large length could have caused an overflow that makes it go backwards to find the next attribute. Also, the filename was not guaranteed to be null-terminated which could have resulted in out-of-bounds reads on a few error messages. Finally, clarify the validity guarantees for CBFS header fields offered by cbfs_walk() in the comment explaining cbfs_mdata.
