## Summary

Closes #766. Thank you for the help @bramschulting!

**What is the goal of this PR?** 
- First and foremost, fix issue #766.
- Through working on that, I realized the current CSS parsing/loading
code can be improved dramatically for large files and still had
additional performance improvements to be made, even with EPUBs with
small CSS.

**What changes are included?**
- Stream CSS parsing and reuse normalization buffers to cut allocations
- Add rule limits and selector validation to release rules and free up
memory when needed
- Skip CSS parsing/loading entirely when "Book's Embedded Style" is off

## Additional Context

- My test EPUB has been updated
[here](https://github.com/jdk2pq/css-test-epub) to include a very large
CSS file to test this out
