The gallop searches in the comparator sort held their search bounds in
long, which is 32 bits on Windows x64, so a run of more than 2^31 slots
gave a truncated bound and the merges could copy outside the array. The
bounds are now ptrdiff_t; every other index, length, offset, hint, run
length and run-stack entry in the sort was already size_t. Each gallop
result is checked against its run length (0 <= k <= length) before any
merge uses it, and a result outside the run is an internal error rather
than a copy.
A new runtime unit test calls gallop and the merge step, through test-only
entry points built with SCR_SORT_TEST, at indices past 2^32 and over runs
of more than 2^32 slots in a sparse mapping, and checks that an
out-of-range gallop result traps.
