Fix more potential seg-faults in gprof.
PR gprof/20499 * corefile.c (num_of_syms_in): Return an unsigned int. (core_create_syms_from): Catch a possible integer overflow computing the argument to xmalloc. Also allow for the possibility that an integer overflow in num_of_syms_in means that less space has been allocated than expected.
