In the fix for CVE-2025-0649 in #4133, a max limit was placed on JSON stringification to avoid DoS from arbitrary inputs to ModelServer.

This change adds a similar limit to the recursion depth of nested tensors in JSON parsing, which occurs earlier in the lifetime of a request to a model's predict API. Without this change, a caller can crash the server with a crafted call to predict.

The hard-coded limit of 1024 was chosen somewhat arbitrarily - the MobileNetV2 model only has a tensor depth of 4, so there's a very large safety factor. At a depth of 1024, the entire call stack is still likely to be under 1MB in memory.
