Acts1631 880da53aad dcc: enforce declared receive size
DCC GET trusts the sender-provided size for UI and auto-get policy but continues writing until the peer closes the connection. A sender can advertise a small file and exhaust the receiver filesystem.

Limit each read to the remaining declared byte count and close the transfer once that count has been reached.
