    vnc: limit client_cut_text msg payload size
    
    currently a malicious client could define a payload
    size of 2^32 - 1 bytes and send up to that size of
    data to the vnc server. The server would allocated
    that amount of memory which could easily create an
    out of memory condition.
    
    This patch limits the payload size to 1MB max.
    
    Please note that client_cut_text messages are currently
    silently ignored.

    Above is 2b5684137e81 in qemu-xen-4.6-testing and qemu-xen-unstable,
    now being cherry picked onto qemu-xen-4.5-testing.  Also need
    1c8d43cbdf0f, its fixup patch:
    
    We do not have `error_report'.  Use fprintf to stderr, like the rest
    of the file.
    
    Fix commit message to refer to vnc.c, not ui/vnc.c.
