Prevent strange crashes in fmt with absurd goal lengths introduced by the
support for wide characters. If the sizeof (wchar_t) times max_length would yield a value beyond representation in a size_t, exit with a usage error up front, rather than strange errors down the line from trying to malloc (well, realloc) with a size of 0. This is perhaps not the optimal behaviour - a clamp may be more appropriate as we clamp the value of max_length now anyway, but this is at least better than segfaulting or worse. On systems which are friendly to malloc with a value of 0 the results could end up being strange corruption of the output.
