bundle-uri: limit recursion depth for bundle lists

The next change will start allowing us to parse bundle lists that are downloaded from a provided bundle URI. Those lists might point to other lists, which could proceed to an arbitrary depth (and even create cycles). Restructure fetch_bundle_uri() to have an internal version that has a recursion depth. Compare that to a new max_bundle_uri_depth constant that is twice as high as we expect this depth to be for any legitimate use of bundle list linking. We can consider making max_bundle_uri_depth a configurable value if there is demonstrated value in the future.
