Fix CVE-2026-59857: stack out-of-bounds write in spell_soundfold_sal()

Backport upstream patch 9.2.0725 (commit d22ff1c) to fix
CVE-2026-59857 — a stack out-of-bounds write in
spell_soundfold_sal(). The fix corrects three boundary checks
in src/spell.c, changing `reslen < MAXWLEN` to
`reslen < MAXWLEN - 1` to prevent an off-by-one write when
the trailing NUL is appended. A regression test
(Test_spellfile_soundfold_sal_overflow) is also included.

Subject: [PATCH] patch 9.2.0725: [security]: Stack out-of-bounds write in
spell_soundfold_sal()
Problem: [security]: A crafted spell file with non-collapsing SAL rules
can make soundfold() write one byte past the end of the
MAXWLEN result buffer. This is the same class of
out-of-bounds write as GHSA-q8mh-6qm3-25g4 (fixed in 9.2.0698
for the SOFO branch), found while auditing the surrounding
code.
Solution: Bound the single-byte SAL result writes and the terminating
NUL to MAXWLEN - 1, matching the SOFO branch.
