Ville Vesilehto 1e6c851dba fix(go/grpc): avoid panic on short FlatBuffers input (#8684)
* fix(go/grpc): avoid panic on short FlatBuffers input

The gRPC codec read the root UOffsetT without checking input size. On
buffers shorter than SizeUOffsetT, GetUint32 touched data[3] and the
process panics.

Add a simple length check and validate the root offset stays within the
buffer. Return clear errors (insufficient data / invalid root offset)
instead of panicking.

* fix(go/grpc): avoid signed overflow in offset

Keep the bounds check in the unsigned domain (UOffsetT) to avoid
signedness pitfalls.

* chore: clarify comment regarding offset

A full FlatBuffer structure would be:

- uoffset_t: root table offset (4 bytes)
- soffset_t: vtable offset in root table (4 bytes)
- uint16_t: vtable size (2 bytes)
- uint16_t: table size (2 bytes)

In total 12 bytes. We are only validating the data length
before trying to read the uoffset_t, not the full structure.
