libsec: avoid undefined C

Browse source 
gcc compiles `p + length < p' into 'length < 0' since pointer overflow is undefined behavior in C.  This breaks the check against a large `length'.

Use `length > pend - p' instead.

There's no need to check `length < 0' since `length' is from length_decode() and should be non-negative.

===

Try the simplified code.

void bar(void);
void foo(unsigned char *p, int length)
{
        if (p + length < p)
                bar();
}

$ gcc -S -o - t.c -O2
...
foo:
.LFB0:
        .cfi_startproc
        testl	%esi, %esi
        js	.L4
        rep
        ret
.L4:
        jmp	bar
        .cfi_endproc

Clearly `p' is not used at all.
