bdfReadCharacters: ensure metrics fit into xCharInfo struct

We use 32-bit ints to read from the bdf file, but then try to stick
into a 16-bit int in the xCharInfo struct, so make sure they won't
overflow that range.

+Subject: [PATCH] bdfReadCharacters: ensure metrics fit into xCharInfo struct
+ [CVE-2015-1804]
+
+We use 32-bit ints to read from the bdf file, but then try to stick
+into a 16-bit int in the xCharInfo struct, so make sure they won't
+overflow that range.
+
+Found by afl-1.24b.
+
+v2: Verify that additions won't overflow 32-bit int range either.
+v3: As Julien correctly observes, the previous check for bh & bw not
+    being < 0 reduces the number of cases we need to check for overflow.
