Fix CVE(s): CVE-2023-44271, CVE-2023-50447
* SECURITY UPDATE: arbitrary code execution via the ImageMath.eval environment parameter (ELSCVE-187962) - debian/patches/CVE-2023-50447.patch: reject environment keys that contain "__" or shadow a builtin before they are merged into the execution namespace in src/PIL/ImageMath.py, so an injected name can no longer satisfy the expression allowlist. Adds a regression test in Tests/test_imagemath.py. - CVE-2023-50447 * SECURITY UPDATE: denial of service via unbounded allocation when measuring or rendering very long strings - debian/patches/CVE-2023-44271.patch: add ImageFont.MAX_STRING_LENGTH and check it at each text entry point in src/PIL/ImageFont.py before the C layer allocates. Adds a regression test in Tests/test_imagefont.py. - CVE-2023-44271
