Add validation to CharTermAttributeImpl.clone()

Adds bounds checking in clone() method to validate termLength:
- Checks termLength is not negative
- Checks termLength does not exceed MAX_ARRAY_LENGTH

This prevents potential security issues with crafted/malicious
TermBuffer values that could cause excessive memory allocation
or undefined behavior during cloning.
