Replace OpenSSL's cryptic "data too large for key size" error with a clear message that includes the padding type, maximum allowed bytes, and actual input size. Validation runs before any OpenSSL call, giving users actionable feedback. Covers OAEP (size-42), PKCS#1 v1.5 (size-11), and no-padding (size). Only validates encryption-direction calls (encrypt, private_encrypt), not decryption (decrypt, public_decrypt) where input is ciphertext. Adds `public` parameter to pre-3.x rsa_crypt() signature to distinguish encrypt/decrypt direction (already present in 3.x path). 8 new tests in t/crypto.t verify error messages and confirm decrypt is unaffected.

failure from CI @Koan-Bot rebase |
**Summary:** - Updated `t/error_queue.t` test 4 regex to also match `plaintext too long` — the new pre-validation error message now fires before OpenSSL's native "data too large" error, so the test pattern needs to accept both forms. This fixes the CI failure reported by @atoomic.

What
Add plaintext length pre-validation in
rsa_crypt()that gives a clear error message before OpenSSL's cryptic "data too large for key size".Why
OpenSSL's error message doesn't tell users what the limit is, what padding is in effect, or how large their input was. This makes debugging encryption failures unnecessarily painful — especially for OAEP where the 42-byte overhead isn't obvious.
