Improve variable-length integer robustness

Move the maximum length check above the left shift, so we don't try and
shift more than 64 bits into the accumulator.

Return serde:🇩🇪:Errors from the invalid branches of the Uint
deserialization implementation rather than panicking on bogus or
truncated input.

Also clean up a Clippy lint in the Uint serialize implementation, using
the .take(i) iterator adapter rather than a ranged for-loop.
