[Spice-devel] [PATCH 2/2] improve primary surface parameter checks

Primary surface, as additional surfaces, can be used to access
host memory from the guest using invalid parameters.

The removed warning is not enough to prevent all cases. Also a warning
is not enough to stop an escalation to happen.
The red_validate_surface do different checks to make sure surface
request is valid and not cause possible buffer/integer overflows:
- format is valid;
- width is not large to cause overflow compared to stride;
- stride is not -2^31 (a number which negate is still <0);
- stride * height does not overflow.

This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1312980.
