Comments

progress: count amount of data "delivered" to application

... and apply the CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE limit (if set) on that as well.
This effectively protects the user against "zip bombs".

Test case 1618 verifies using a 14 byte brotli payload that otherwise
explodes to 102400 zero bytes.

Closes #20787
