Alec Brown cdb21e0b9c util/grub-module-verifierXX: Validate number of elf section header table entries
In grub-module-verifierXX.c, grub_target_to_host16 (e->e_shnum) is used to
obtain the number of section header table entries, but it wasn't being
checked if the value was there.

According to the elf(5) manual page,
"If the number of entries in the section header table is larger than or equal
to SHN_LORESERVE (0xff00), e_shnum holds the value zero and the real number of
entries in the section header table is held in the sh_size member of the intial
entry in section header table. Otherwise, the sh_size member of the initial
entry in the section header table holds the value zero."

Since this check wasn't being made, the function get_shnum() is being added to
make this check and use whichever member doesn't have a value of zero. If both
are zero, then we must return an error. We also need to make sure that e_shnum
doesn't have a value greater than or equal to SHN_LORESERVE and sh_size isn't
less than SHN_LORESERVE.

Note that it may look as though the argument *arch isn't being used, it's
actually required in order to use the macros grub_target_to_host*(x) which are
unwinded to grub_target_to_host*_real(arch, (x)) based on defines earlier in
the file.

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
robust, more powerful, and more portable.

See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
GRUB 2 data and program files.

See the file MAINTAINERS for information about the GRUB maintainers, etc.

If you found a security vulnerability in the GRUB please check the SECURITY
file to get more information how to properly report this kind of bugs to
the maintainers.

Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.

More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual,
accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2.

There are a number of important user-visible differences from the
first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please
