[8378] Use exceptions instead of explicit size checking for each packet Author: arrai

    CHECK_PACKET_SIZE was pretty error prone; once it was forgotten mangosd
    could crash due to the asserts in ByteBuffer.h. That was exploitable by
    malicious players.
    Furthermore, there were duplicate checks: Additionally to
    CHECK_PACKET_SIZE, the ByteBuffer assertions keept an eye
    on not exceeding the packet boundaries - just to crash the server for
    sure in such a case.
    To prevent memory leaks or other undesirable states, please read in
    every handler all variables _before_ doing any concrete handling.
