fix: prevent DoS (OOM) via massive packets (#95)
When maxHttpBufferSize is large (1e8 bytes), a payload of length 100MB can be sent like so: 99999991:422222222222222222222222222222222222222222222... This massive packet can cause OOM via building up many many `ConsOneByteString` objects due to concatenation: 99999989 `ConsOneByteString`s and then converting the massive integer to a `Number`. The performance can be improved to avoid this by using `substring` rather than building the string via concatenation. Below I tried one payload of length 7e7 as the 1e8 payload took so long to process that it timed out before running out of memory. ``` ==== JS stack trace ========================================= 0: ExitFrame [pc: 0x13c5b79] Security context: 0x152fe7b808d1 <JSObject> 1: decodeString [0x2dd385fb5d1] [/node_modules/socket.io-parser/index.js:~276] [pc=0xf59746881be](this=0x175d34c42b69 <JSGlobal Object>,0x14eccff10fe1 <Very long string[69999990]>) 2: add [0x31fc2693da29] [/node_modules/socket.io-parser/index.js:242] [bytecode=0xa7ed6554889 offset=11](this=0x0a2881be5069 <Decoder map = 0x3ceaa8bf48c9>,0x14eccff10fe1 <Very...
