8d34458781 bcachefs: Add safe versions of varint encode/decode
This adds safe versions of bch2_varint_(encode|decode) that don't read
or write past the end of the buffer, or varint being encoded.

a3e7226268 bcachefs: New varints
Previous varint implementation used by the inode code was not nearly as
fast as it could have been; partly because it was attempting to encode
integers up to 96 bits (for timestamps) but this meant that encoding and
decoding the length required a table lookup.

Instead, we'll just encode timestamps greater than 64 bits as two
separate varints; this will make decoding/encoding of inodes
significantly faster overall.
