[IMPROVEMENT] Standardize number_bytes upper bound in ts_tables_epg.c

[THE-Amrit-mahto-05]

In raising this pull request, I confirm the following (please check boxes):

Reason for this PR:

• This PR adds new functionality.
• This PR fixes a bug that I have personally experienced or that a real user has reported and for which a sample exists.
• This PR is porting code from C to Rust.

Sanity check:

• I have read and understood the contributors guide.
• I have checked that another pull request for this purpose does not exist.
• If the PR adds new functionality, I've added it to the changelog. If it's just a bug fix, I have NOT added it to the changelog.
• I am NOT adding new C code unless it's to fix an existing, reproducible bug.

---

Reason

In ts_tables_epg.c, the variable number_bytes had inconsistent upper bounds:

• One check allowed values < 500
• Another restricted it to < 200

This inconsistency can lead to unsafe memory handling and unpredictable parsing behavior.

Change

Standardized the upper bound to 200 to match existing validation logic.

Repro instructions

This change improves consistency and safety in bounds checking.
No specific crash case was reproduced, but inconsistent limits were observed in code.

why 200

The value 200 is already used in another validation block in the same file
(compression_type/mode check), so this change ensures consistency and avoids arbitrary limits.

Proof of warning when it was 500:

after chaning to 200:

Closing — there's no explanation for why the upper bound should change from 500 to 200. What problem does this solve? What sample triggers an issue with the current 500 limit? Without a repro or justification, we can't merge an arbitrary constant change.
