package/capnproto: add upstream security patch for CVE-2026-322{39,40}

- CVE-2026-32239:
    Cap'n Proto is a data interchange format and capability-based RPC
    system. Prior to 1.4.0, a negative Content-Length value was converted
    to unsigned, treating it as an impossibly large length instead. In
    theory, this bug could enable HTTP request/response smuggling. This
    vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.0.

- CVE-2026-32240:
    Cap'n Proto is a data interchange format and capability-based RPC
    system. Prior to 1.4.0, when using Transfer-Encoding: chunked, if a
    chunk's size parsed to a value of 2^64 or larger, it would be
    truncated to a 64-bit integer. In theory, this bug could enable HTTP
    request/response smuggling. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.0.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix HTTP body size integer overflow bugs.
The KJ-HTTP library was discovered to have two bugs related to integer overflows while handling message body sizes:
1. A negative `Content-Length` value was converted to unsigned, treating it as an impossibly large length instead.
2. When using `Transfer-Encoding: chunked`, if a chunk's size parsed to a value of 2^64 or larger, it would be truncated to a 64-bit integer.
In theory, these bugs could enable HTTP request/response smuggling, although it would require integration with a proxy that has bugs of its own.
For more details, see (in a future commit): security-advisories/2026-03-10-1-http-size-validation.md
