udpsrc: sanity check size of available packet data for reading to avoid memory waste

On Windows and OS/X, _get_available_bytes() may not return the size
of the next pending packet, but the size of all pending packets in
the kernel-side buffer, which might be rather large depending on
configuration. Sanity-check the size returned by _get_available_bytes()
to make sure we never allocate more memory than the max. size for
a packet, if it's an IPv4 socket.
