-fsanitize=address showed that ada-lang.c:move_bits can run off the
end of the source buffer.  I believe this patch fixes the problem, by
arranging not to read from the source buffer once there are sufficient
bits in the accumulator.

	* ada-lang.c (move_bits): Don't run off the end of the source
	buffer.
