Honor max_memory_to_use/JPEGMEM/-maxmemory
This re-introduces a feature of the obsolete system-specific libjpeg
memory managers-- namely the ability to limit the amount of main memory
used by the library during decompression or multi-pass compression.
This is mainly beneficial for two reasons:
- Works around a 2 GB limit in libFuzzer
- Allows security-sensitive applications to set a memory limit for the
JPEG decoder so as to work around the progressive JPEG exploit
(LJT-01-004) described here:
http://www.libjpeg-turbo.org/pmwiki/uploads/About/TwoIssueswiththeJPEGStandard.pdf
This commit also removes obsolete documentation regarding the MS-DOS
memory manager (which itself was removed long ago) and changes the
documentation of the -maxmemory switch and JPEGMEM environment variable
to reflect the fact that backing stores are never used in libjpeg-turbo.
