Fix check_clone_to_uninit CBMC timeout: reduce size and remove byte loop
The harness was timing out (10 min CBMC limit) due to expensive symbolic pointer arithmetic in clone_to_uninit combined with a symbolic-length verification loop. Fix: reduce MAX_SIZE from 16 to 8 bytes (sufficient to cover empty, single-char, and multi-char C strings) and remove the byte-by-byte verification loop (the CStr reconstruction check still validates the safety invariant).
