Which issue does this close?

Closes #26948.

Rationale for this change

repeat previously allowed LargeUtf8 results up to i64::MAX bytes. A valid input such as repeat(LargeUtf8('Pg'), 1 << 60) therefore passed validation and then attempted an impossible allocation, aborting the process instead of returning a DataFusion error. The array path could likewise panic while reserving builder capacity.

What changes are included in this PR?

• Use the same i32::MAX output cap for all three string representations (Utf8, Utf8View, and LargeUtf8) before allocation.
• Add scalar and array regression tests for oversized LargeUtf8 results.

This keeps the existing error behavior and avoids changing builder internals or allocation semantics.

What is the testing strategy for this PR?

• rustfmt --check on the changed Rust file
• git diff --check

The local Cargo dependency check was attempted, but this Windows environment lacks a usable Rust toolchain/cache for the repository dependencies; the focused regression tests are included for CI.

Are there any user-facing changes?

Oversized repeat results now return the normal string-size overflow error for LargeUtf8 instead of aborting or panicking.
