rsync: Fix of 8 CVEs

Type: advisorySources: OSV

- CVE-2026-70461: count a trailing backslash when sizing the implied-include filter rule, so a --files-from entry ending in a backslash can no longer write one attacker-controlled byte past the rule's heap allocation - CVE-2026-70456: reserve the slot read_args() needs for its trailing NULL, so a peer argument count landing exactly on maxargs cannot write one pointer past the argv allocation - CVE-2026-70458: refuse FLAG_HLINKED when hard links are not in use and on a directory entry, so a peer cannot displace the checksum slot through hard-link extras that were never reserved; gate the hard-link basis check on S_ISREG(file->mode) so a hard-linked symlink or device cannot read a checksum slot it never had; also set sender_keeps_checksum in the daemon-as-sender path so %C cannot log adjacent heap - CVE-2026-70462: reject a non-positive MSG_IO_TIMEOUT from the peer and cap it at 24 hours, and make set_io_timeout()'s arithmetic overflow-safe, so a crafted server can neither disable the client's --timeout nor spin it at 100% CPU on a negative select() timeout - CVE-2026-70453: bound the hash_search() chain walk at MAX_CHAIN_LEN, so a basis file whose weak checksums all collide cannot drive an O(file_size * chain_length) scan - CVE-2026-53785: create each implied parent directory through do_mkdir_at() against a held O_NOFOLLOW directory fd, so a parent component raced into a symlink can no longer place --relative directories outside the destination - CVE-2026-53794: reject --max-a
