[3.11] gh-156002: Bound zipfile decompression for bzip2/LZMA/Zstandard (GH-156003) (GH-156362) (#156740)

* [3.15] gh-156002: Bound zipfile decompression for bzip2/LZMA/Zstandard (GH-156003) (GH-156362)

Patch by @tonghuaroot.

zipfile.ZipExtFile._read1() bounds the output of each decompress() call
for DEFLATE members by passing a max_length to zlib, but for bzip2, LZMA,
and Zstandard members it called decompress() with no bound. A whole
compressed chunk was therefore expanded into a single allocation before
the data[:self._left] clip ran, so a consumer that deliberately reads in
small chunks to limit memory (for example zf.open(name).read(8192)) was
silently unprotected for non-DEFLATE members. A small, spec-conformant
archive member declaring a large uncompressed size could drive multi-GB
peak memory.

_read1() now passes a per-call bound to the non-DEFLATE decompress()
(mirroring the DEFLATE branch) and drains the decompressor's internal
buffer across calls by checking needs_input before reading more
compressed input. zipfile's LZMADecompressor wrapper forwards max_length
and exposes needs_input so the bound also holds for LZMA members.
