Subject: [PATCH 61/68] Assert that row pattern nesting depth never aliases the
 RPR_DEPTH_NONE sentinel

allocateRPRPattern stores maxDepth + 1, and scanRPRPatternRecursive rejects
nesting at or above RPR_DEPTH_MAX, so the stored value stays <= RPR_DEPTH_MAX
and never reaches the RPR_DEPTH_NONE sentinel (UINT8_MAX).  Assert that bound
so raising RPR_DEPTH_MAX or the depth limit trips immediately.  Also note in
compute_define_metadata that its default offset (1) serves only PREV; the
guarded LAST sub-case never uses it.
