Fixes and additions of some of the bounds checks in

SystemPacketBuffer::New().

With the data length types changed to size_t, the bounds checks for the lengths
need to be appropriately modified so that we ensure that overflow does
not happen and the buffer allocation is performed correctly as requested
by the caller of the API.
