poc for podofo excessive iteration issue

On latest release version (0.9.5) and master branch of podofo:
There is an Excessive Iteration in PdfParser::ReadObjectsInternal function of file, which could be triggered by the POC below.

The issue happens since in PdfParser::ReadObjectsInternal function, there is a while loop (line 1053), whose iteration times could be manipulated by the input file. The POC file, which is only 98 bytes in size, could make the "m_nNumObjects" variable a huge value (i.e., 2100000041). It takes tens of minutes for podofo to handle this tiny POC file. 


   1046 void PdfParser::ReadObjectsInternal() 
   1047 {
   1048     int              i            = 0;
   1049     int              nLast        = 0;
   1050     PdfParserObject* pObject      = NULL;
   1051 
   1052     // Read objects
   1053     for( i=0; i < m_nNumObjects; i++ )
   1054     {
            ...
            }

To trigger the issue, run: podofoimgextract $POC OUTPUT
