Keep a std::pair internal to the iterators so that operator* can
return a reference and operator-> can work, and each can work without
copying pairs of objects around.
Create a computationally and memory efficient implementation of name
and number trees that does binary searches as intended by the data
structure rather than loading into a map, which can use a great deal
of memory and can be very slow.
This makes all integer type conversions that have potential data loss
explicit with calls that do range checks and raise an exception. After
this commit, qpdf builds with no warnings when -Wsign-conversion
-Wconversion is used with gcc or clang or when -W3 -Wd4800 is used
with MSVC. This significantly reduces the likelihood of potential
crashes from bogus integer values.
There are some parts of the code that take int when they should take
size_t or an offset. Such places would make qpdf not support files
with more than 2^31 of something that usually wouldn't be so large. In
the event that such a file shows up and is valid, at least qpdf would
raise an error in the right spot so the issue could be legitimately
addressed rather than failing in some weird way because of a silent
overflow condition.
