+Description: Add sequence nesting depth limit for parsing
+ Track sequence nesting depth on DcmInputStream during parsing. When the
+ depth exceeds a configurable limit, parsing is aborted with
+ EC_NestingDepthLimitExceeded. This prevents stack overflow from
+ excessively nested DICOM sequences.
+ .
+ The default limit is controlled by the compile-time macro
+ DCMTK_MAX_SEQUENCE_NESTING (default: 64). It can be overridden per parse
+ operation via the runtime API:
+ .
+ - DcmInputStream::setMaxNestingDepth() for direct stream access
+ - DcmItem::setMaxNestingDepth() (inherited by DcmDataset) for loadFile()
+   and read()
+ - DcmFileFormat::setMaxNestingDepth() for loadFile() and read(),
+   forwarded to the contained dataset
+ - DcmSCP::setMaxNestingDepth() and DcmSCU::setMaxNestingDepth() for
+   datasets received over the network via receiveDIMSEDataset()
+ .
+ The runtime setter uses Sint32 semantics:
+   0 = compile-time default, -1 = unlimited, >0 = limit
+ .
+ Note: the specific EC_NestingDepthLimitExceeded error code is not yet
+ surfaced through the DIMSE layer; DIMSE_receiveDataSetInMemory() maps
+ all parse errors to DIMSE_RECEIVEFAILED.
+ .
+ Thanks to the IN-CYPHER OSS Security Team for the report, detailed
+ analysis and proof of concept.
+ .
+ This closes DCMTK Bug #1191.

++DCMTK_MAX_SEQUENCE_NESTING
++  Affected: dcmdata
++  Type of modification: Compile-time tunable
++  Explanation: Defines the default maximum permitted sequence nesting depth
++    during DICOM parsing.  Deeply nested sequences can cause a stack overflow
++    by exhausting the call stack through unbounded recursion.  When this macro
++    is not defined, the default limit of 64 nested sequence levels is used.
++    Real-world DICOM data rarely exceeds 5-10 nesting levels.  The limit can
++    be changed at runtime per parse operation via
++    DcmInputStream::setMaxNestingDepth(), DcmItem::setMaxNestingDepth(), or
++    DcmFileFormat::setMaxNestingDepth().  Setting the runtime value to -1
++    disables the check entirely.
++    Minimum value: 1.  Values less than 1 cause a compile-time error.
++    Maximum value: 2147483647 (aligned to 32-bit signed integer runtime API).
++
