lib: packing: refuse operating on bit indices which exceed size of buffer
While reworking the implementation, it became apparent that this check
does not exist.
There is no functional issue yet, because at call sites, "startbit" and
"endbit" are always hardcoded to correct values, and never come from the
user.
Even with the upcoming support of arbitrary buffer lengths, the
"startbit >= 8 * pbuflen" check will remain correct. This is because
we intend to always interpret the packed buffer in a way that avoids
discontinuities in the available bit indices.
