Avoid possible pointer wrap
PTR supplied to these macros can be read from user input, END is an end of buffer pointer. It's safer to do arithmetic on END than on PTR. * dwarf.c (SAFE_BYTE_GET): Check bounds by subtracting amount from END rather than adding amount to PTR. (SAFE_SIGNED_BYTE_GET, SAFE_BYTE_GET64): Likewise.
