    Avoid coff OOM
    
    bfd_zalloc/bfd_zmalloc to fix uninitialized memory reads is too big a
    hammer, when the size allocated depends on user input.  A typical
    bfd_alloc, bfd_seek, bfd_bread sequence will give an error or warning
    at the point the file read fails when some enormous item as described
    by headers is not actually present in the file.  Nice operating system
    allow memory overcommit.  But not if you write to the memory.  So
    bfd_zalloc can cause an OOM, thrashing, or system hangs.
    
    The patch also fixes a recently introduced endless loop on bad input.
    
    	PR binutils/17512
    	* coffcode.h (coff_slurp_line_table): Don't bfd_zalloc, just
    	memset the particular bits we need.  Update src after hitting loop
    	"continue".  Don't count lineno omitted due to invalid symbols in
    	nbr_func, and update lineno_count.  Init entire terminating
    	lineno.  Don't both allocating terminator in n_lineno_cache.
    	Redirect sym->lineno pointer to where n_lineno_cache will be
    	copied, and free n_lineno_cache.
    	* pe-mips.c (NUM_HOWTOS): Typo fix.
