fix(file_list): bound entry length and reject embedded NUL bytes

Read list files through utils_getdelim_bounded() so a single multi-gigabyte
line can no longer force unbounded allocation; over-long entries fail with a
clear error.  Also add the documented memchr() NUL-byte check (excluding the
NUL delimiter in NUL-separated mode).

Tests: an over-long entry is rejected with an 'exceeds' diagnostic.
