Return bool from clusterModuleMessageLengthValid().

The new helper returns a true/false value but is declared and defined as int. As per coding guidelines, src/**/*.{c,h,cpp,hpp} requires: "Use the boolean type for true/false values." The int return type is kept only for older functions, so the new helper should use bool. Changing the type does not change the returned values, and the existing callers and unit tests still work.

Update the declaration and definition of clusterModuleMessageLengthValid to
return bool instead of int, keeping its existing true/false behavior and
ensuring both signatures remain consistent.

Add an integration check for a length just above the payload limit.

test_send_oversized_msg passes only UINT32_MAX. A send-path guard that rejects only that value passes this test. Add a call with a length just above the limit, such as maxModulePayloadLen() + 1, so the module API test covers the first invalid length.

Review comment at @tests/modules/cluster.c at line 87:
Update test_send_oversized_msg to also call ValkeyModule_SendClusterMessage with
a payload length one greater than maxModulePayloadLen() and assert it returns
VALKEYMODULE_ERR. Preserve the existing UINT32_MAX check so the test covers both
the first invalid length and the extreme value.

- Line 28: Add a function comment directly above maxModulePayloadLen documenting
that it returns the largest payload length accepted for a normal cluster header
and that the limit keeps the full send-block allocation within UINT32_MAX.
