23196daa11 fix(apple): read LC_LAZY_LOAD_DYLIB_INFO dependency payloads (#5650)
* fix(apple): read LC_LAZY_LOAD_DYLIB_INFO dependency payloads

Parse the linkedit install name for lazy-load info commands, resolve those
edges without traversing them, and stop inspect-macho from treating an otool
dependency list as exhaustive when that payload is omitted.

Fixes #5551
Fixes #5649

* fix(apple): bound lazy-load payload reads and image offsets

Reuse identical LC_LAZY_LOAD_DYLIB_INFO ranges, cap their combined size,
and reject flag or chain-start offsets outside the slice VM range.

* fix(apple): bound lazy-load string scans and contained reads

Reject payload strings that start in the 24-byte header, validate each
file-offset string once, and reuse payload bytes already read for a
containing range.

* fix(apple): reject cached lazy-load strings outside a payload

Remember each cached string's terminating offset and require that NUL to
fall inside the payload being decoded.

* fix(apple): bound lazy-load payload range lookups

Count containment checks across earlier payload reads and stop at the
existing 16 MiB work limit.

* fix(apple): count every lazy-info string reference

Charge repeated and overlapping LC_LAZY_LOAD_DYLIB_INFO scans against the
16 MiB validation budget, and stop a scan once that budget is exhausted.

* fix(apple): cap retained lazy-info dependency results

Stop after 1024 LC_LAZY_LOAD_DYLIB_INFO commands so a load-command region
full of identical commands cannot become a million traced edges.

* fix(apple): reject a lazy-load path NUL in the final byte

dyld stops the load-path scan before the payload's last byte, so a
terminator in that byte leaves the image malformed.

* fix(apple): keep may-be-missing lazy loads optional

A missing LC_LAZY_LOAD_DYLIB_INFO with the may-be-missing bit is weak, so the lazy finding says dyld continues on first use instead of failing.

* fix(apple): cap lazy-info symbol string references

A payload of distinct one-byte symbol strings stayed under the byte budgets while caching one entry per offset. A slice now stops at 65536 symbol references.
