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.
The single-byte branch of spell_soundfold_sal() guarded its writes with
"reslen < MAXWLEN", allowing reslen to reach MAXWLEN (254). The trailing
"res[reslen] = NUL" then wrote at index 254 of the 254-byte stack buffer
res[MAXWLEN], an off-by-one out-of-bounds write. Input is case-folded to
about 253 characters, so a 253-character argument together with a SAL map
that does not collapse (collapse_result false) reaches the boundary.

This is N/A as Nvim doesn't have spell_soundfold_sal() which is only
used in the !has_mbyte code path.
