block: Fix buffer total size in block_Alloc()
The total size of the buffer (i_size) was initialized with the whole
allocated size for the block. This fooled block_Realloc() in the case of
resizing to slightly larger, with the extra size in range from
32 to 32 + 80 bytes. block_Realloc() assumed it had enough space left in
the buffer padding to avoid reallocating memory.
Consequently, the block ended up with a i_buffer field with a value
larger than the allocated memory around p_buffer.
In the end, this could cause memory corruptions in all sorts of cases.
In my case, vlc was crashing while encoutering a corrupted mp3 file.
