    mbedtls: fix potential size overflow when reading or writing data

The mbedtls library uses a callback mechanism to allow downstream users
to plug in their own receive and send functions. We implement `bio_read`
and `bio_write` functions, which simply wrap the `git_stream_read` and
`git_stream_write` functions, respectively.

The problem arises due to the return value of the callback functions:
mbedtls expects us to return an `int` containing the actual number of
bytes that were read or written. But this is in fact completely
misdesigned, as callers are allowed to pass in a buffer with length
`SIZE_MAX`. We thus may be unable to represent the number of bytes
written via the return value.

Fix this by only ever reading or writing at most `INT_MAX` bytes.
