linux-user: Use correct types in load_symbols()
Coverity doesn't like the code in load_symbols() which assumes it can use 'int' for a variable that might hold an offset into the guest ELF file, because in a 64-bit guest that could overflow. Guest binaries with 2GB sections aren't very likely and this isn't a security issue because we fully trust the guest linux-user binary anyway, but we might as well use the right types, which will placate Coverity. Use uint64_t to hold section sizes, and bail out if the symbol table is too large rather than just overflowing an int.
