introduce SIZE_MAX
ULONG_MAX is often used to check for integer overflow when calculating allocation size. While ULONG_MAX happens to work on most systems, there is no guarantee that `size_t' must be the same size as `long'. This patch introduces SIZE_MAX, the maximum value of `size_t', to improve portability and readability for allocation size validation.
