Fixes #148 .
Hi, thanks for maintaining this crate.
AllocRingBuffer::newallocates a heap buffer based on the requested capacity rounded up to the next power of two. Very large capacities can produce a valid layout while still requesting an impractically large allocation, which can lead to resource exhaustion under tools such as Miri.This PR adds a lightweight upper-bound check on the computed allocation size before calling the allocator. The public API shape is unchanged; excessive capacities now fail predictably with a Rust panic instead of reaching the raw allocation path.
