As seen in PR 17808, a test case with a forged (invalid) core file can
crash GDB with an assertion failure when a register section has the
wrong size.  This patch series is about improving GDB's behavior in
such cases: Patch 1 fixes the reported problem for i386 as well as for
other targets; patch 2 avoids out-of-bounds accesses when an x86
".reg-xstate" section is too short, and patch 3 adds a warning when a
core file register section is larger than expected.

This is based on the "lazy approach" suggested here:

OK to apply?
