Fix CVE-2026-18296: heap buffer overflow in qtmoovrecover

Backport upstream fix for CVE-2026-18296, a heap buffer overflow
in the MOV/MP4 moov recovery tool (qtmoovrecover). The patch adds
box size validations and version checks to atomsrecovery.c to
prevent out-of-bounds memory access when processing malformed
input files.
