Description

There are still a few cases where some junk data near the end of the file seems to make processing end earlier than it should. We get most of the data out, which is nice though.

We currently handle gracefully ending early here: https://github.com/Col-E/binary-resources/blob/master/src/main/java/com/google/devrel/gmscore/tools/apk/arsc/Chunk.java#L332

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the condition causing early termination in Chunk.java line 332 and ensure all junk data is handled gracefully.
