The `std::io::Read` trait includes `read_to_end` but that method provides a denial of service attack vector since an unbounded reader will exhaust all system memory. Add a method to our `Read` trait called `read_to_limit` that does the same as `std::io::Read::read_to_end` but with memory exhaustion protection. Add a `read_to_end` method on our `Take` trait and call through to it from the new method on our `Read` trait called `read_to_limit`. |

Rust-Bitcoin IO Library
The std::io module is not exposed in no-std Rust so building no-std applications which require
reading and writing objects via standard traits is not generally possible. Thus, this library exists
to export a minmal version of std::io's traits which we use in rust-bitcoin so that we can
support no-std applications.
These traits are not one-for-one drop-ins, but are as close as possible while still implementing
std::io's traits without unnecessary complexity.
