BUG: Fix Parsing of Inline Images #332

The inline image parser does not look for whitespace before the EI keyword as it should. Thus if you have a content stream as follows, the parser would crash:

BI [inline image dictionary]
ID
asfASF213ad>]asf
213lkasdf9as12EI
QsdkfjasdfkjfdiI
EI
Q

Notice the EI on one line and the Q on the following line occurs in two places. To properly check, we need to make sure the EI is preceded by white-space.

Also, added a protection against infinite loops in case the PDF is corrupt and the inline image never ends.

The current solution is not compatible with the recent BytesIO implementation. Do you mind to adjust your PR?

I fixed the merge conflict, I'm not sure what you're referring to re BytesIO.

@speedplane We made some pretty heavy changes to PyPDF2 recently. If you search for if tok2 == b"I": in generic.py, you can see the section that you adjusted. Do you want to adjust the PR / open a new PR?

Do you have an example PDF where this adjustment is necessary? Does it close one of the open issues?

It would help me a lot if we had an image that shows the described issue.

Sorry, this is all I have. I can't remember what this fixed or how it fixes it.

@speedplane The issue you addressed was fixed via #1327 .

May I add you to https://pypdf2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/meta/CONTRIBUTORS.html ? Your PR was not merged, but you did make a valuable contribution with this PR. It was just me not being able to understand it at the time.
