lib/bootconfig: check bounds before writing in __xbc_open_brace()

The bounds check for brace_index happens after the array write.
While the current call pattern prevents an actual out-of-bounds
access (the previous call would have returned an error), the
write-before-check pattern is fragile and would become a real
out-of-bounds write if the error return were ever not propagated.

Move the bounds check before the array write so the function is
self-contained and safe regardless of caller behavior.
