[PATCH] render: Fix crash in RenderAddGlyphs (#23645)

This patch fixes two bugs:
size is calculated as glyph height * padded_width. If the client submits
garbage, this may get above INT_MAX, resulting in a negative size if size is
unsigned. The sanity checks don't trigger for negative sizes and the server
goes and writes into random memory locations.

If the client submits glyphs with a width or height 0, the destination
pixmap is NULL, causing a null-pointer dereference. Since there's nothing to
composite if the width/height is 0, we might as well skip the whole thing
anyway.

Tested with Xvfb, Xephyr and Xorg.
