Check BLOB content size before trying to render it

Make sure that the content returned by JGit is below the
maximum size allowed for formatting/rendering with Soy.

The method loader.getCachedBytes(MAX_FILE_SIZE) would
return an in-memory content larger than MAX_FILE_SIZE if
the the BLOB is smaller than streamFileThreshold.

Parsing 100s megabytes of in-memory content using a
prettyfier regex and trying to render it in HTML would
result in a massive allocation of strings in the JVM heap.
The overload of memory allocation may eventually result in
triggering continuous 'stop-the-world' GC cycles, blocking
the process for several minutes.
