🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle Integer.MAX_VALUE without overflowing the read threshold.

If a caller sets the cap to Integer.MAX_VALUE, the overload computes maxStreamSize + 1 as a negative int. It then skips the initial read loop and selects InternalInputStream even for a short input. Keep the threshold calculation within range so a large cap preserves the normal stream-selection behavior.

In `@src/main/java/org/verapdf/io/SeekableInputStream.java` at line 59, Update the
read-threshold calculation in SeekableInputStream so adding one to a
maxStreamSize of Integer.MAX_VALUE cannot overflow; preserve the normal
read-loop and stream-selection behavior for short inputs at that cap.

Use a non-overflowing counter in createTempFile.

When setMaxStreamSize(Integer.MAX_VALUE) is active, maxStreamSize + 1 overflows and the one-argument conversion goes directly to InternalInputStream.createConcatenated. Its spill copy uses an int totalRead. After the input exceeds Integer.MAX_VALUE, that counter can wrap, so the cap check can be bypassed and the method can return instead of throwing VeraPDFParserException.

Fixing only the initial threshold does not fix this spill-copy counter.

Suggested fix 
-			int totalRead = alreadyRead.length;
+			long totalRead = alreadyRead.length;

In `@src/main/java/org/verapdf/io/SeekableInputStream.java` at line 199, Update
the spill-copy counter in InternalInputStream.createConcatenated from an int to
a non-overflowing type, and ensure its cap checks and accumulated byte counts
use that type so exceeding Integer.MAX_VALUE cannot bypass the size limit. Do
not limit the fix to the initial threshold in createTempFile.
