- Coverity CID 913848 flagged response controlled loop bounds in the fwTPM test helper.
- Validate the response length before reading the fixed fields.
- Bound the bank count and PCR selection size before iterating.
- Return an error for truncated or malformed capability data.
- Add regression cases for valid and malformed responses.

What changed in this PR
This PR hardens fwTPM PCR capability response parsing by adding explicit bounds checks before iterating over response-controlled fields, and introduces regression tests for valid and malformed responses.
Changes:
- Split PCR bank detection into a response parser (
fwtpm_parse_bank_allocated) plus a command wrapper (fwtpm_bank_allocated). - Add defensive validation for response size, bank count, and PCR selection size before parsing.
- Add a new unit test to cover valid and malformed PCR capability responses.
