Unpacker.skip() does not build the objects on the parser stack. So
stack[].obj stays uninitialized after an incomplete skip(). A later
Unpacker.unpack() writes an array item through that pointer and the
process crashes. The reverse order drops the reference that the
construct pass took.

Record the mode that started the object in unpack_context.
unpack_construct() and unpack_skip() now raise ValueError on a change.
The parser state stays intact, so the original mode still finishes the
object.
