Describe your changes

Cause: H5P__dcrt_layout_dec() decodes a chunked layout from an encoded property list (reached from the public H5Pdecode()). It reads the chunk rank as a single byte and only rejects zero, then writes that many dimensions into tmp_layout.u.chunk.dim[], a fixed array of H5O_LAYOUT_NDIMS (33) entries. A rank above that count overruns the stack struct and runs past the end of the input buffer. The object header layout message decoder (H5O__layout_decode()) already rejects ndims > H5O_LAYOUT_NDIMS; the property-list decoder did not.

Fix: reject a rank greater than H5O_LAYOUT_NDIMS before the decode loop, keeping the bound in the decoder where the untrusted count is consumed.

Repro: with ASan, H5Pdecode() on an encoded DCPL whose chunk-rank byte is set to 200 faults with a heap-buffer-overflow in H5P__dcrt_layout_dec(); after the change the same buffer is rejected with an error. A regression test covering this is added to test/enc_dec_plist.c.
