bpo-42103: Improve validation of Plist files. (GH-22882)
* Prevent some possible DoS attacks via providing invalid Plist files with extremely large number of objects or collection sizes. * Raise InvalidFileException for too large bytes and string size instead of returning garbage. * Raise InvalidFileException instead of ValueError for specific invalid datetime (NaN). * Raise InvalidFileException instead of TypeError for non-hashable dict keys. * Add more tests for invalid Plist files. (cherry picked from commit 34637a0ce21e7261b952fbd9d006474cc29b681f) Co-authored-by: Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka@gmail.com>
