The qSpeedTest packet is used for experiments to determine the optimal packet size for a given communication medium, e.g. to transfer 10MB of memory, is it faster to send a hundred 100KB packets or ten 1MB packets.  It creates a packet of the requested size in a stack allocation, but is not checking that its buffer is large enough for the requested size.

Change this allocation to be on heap, and impose a maximum size that can be tested (4MB, for now).

Subject: [PATCH] [lldb][debugserver] Max response size for qSpeedTest

Only allow qSpeedTest packet size requests up to 4MB.
Allocate the temporary buffer for the packet on the
heap, instead of stack.
