iceman1001andClaude Opus 5 (1M context) 5b909402b5 BigBuf: stop narrowing sizes, and size the 14a modulation buffer to fit
Three things that all cost memory or correctness once BigBuf is larger
than 64KB, which it already is on PM5.

BigBuf_max_traceLen() returned a uint16_t while s_bigbuf_hi is a
uint32_t. At 33272 on AT91 that is harmless; on AT32, where BigBuf runs
to several hundred kbyte, it truncates and LF sampling asks for a
fraction of the buffer that is there. Widened, along with the four
callers that assigned it straight back into a uint16_t.

BigBuf_malloc() and BigBuf_calloc() took a uint16_t chunksize, so a
request of exactly 65536 arrived as 0 and anything above wrapped. It
returned NULL for the 65536 case by accident, not by design. Both take a
uint32_t now and the guard tests the upper bound explicitly, so an
oversized request fails like any other allocation that does not fit.

The 14a tag simulation allocated its dynamic modulation buffer as a flat
512, or 4096 for ST25TA. prepare_tag_modulation() memcpy's the encoded
answer out of the ToSend buffer and tosend_stuffbit() hard caps that at
TOSEND_BUFFER_SIZE, so 1788 of ST25TA's 4096 could never be reached --
it was the largest single allocation of any tag simulation for nothing.
Meanwhile 512 is 68 bytes short of what a full 64 byte response encodes
to, at 9 bytes per byte plus 4, so those answers were refused at
modulation time.

Both are now derived from the response size and capped at what ToSend
can hold: 580 for the default tag types, 2308 for ST25TA. That also
fixes the reason the 4096 never helped -- all six call sites passed the
512 macro as max_buffer_size rather than the size actually allocated, so
ST25TA allocated 4096 and then bounds checked against 512.

Worst case for a simulation that also holds emulator memory drops from
12247 bytes of BigBuf to 10459.

Built for client, RDV4 and PM3GENERIC. Not yet run on hardware.
