node: bounds-check in cmark_set_cstr and propagate error status

Change cmark_set_cstr to return success/failure status and add a bounds check for inputs exceeding the buffer limit. Callers propagate the status.

Define BUFSIZE_MAX in buffer.h and use it in buffer.c and node.c. Document custom allocator contract in cmark.h.
