som: buffer overflow writing strings
Code in som_write_symbol_strings neglected to allow for padding, which can result in a buffer overflow. It also used xrealloc, which we're not supposed to use in libbfd because libbfd isn't supposed to call exit. Also a realloc is perhaps not a good idea when none of the buffer contents are needed, so replace with free, bfd_malloc. There were three copies of the string handling code, so rather than fix them all I've extracted them to a function. This necessitated making one of the fields in struct som_symbol unsigned. * som.c (add_string): New function. (som_write_space_strings, som_write_symbol_strings): Use it. * som.h (som_symbol_type <stringtab_offset>): Make unsigned.
