In bsdXX.c and multiboot_elfxx.c, e_phnum is used to obtain the number of
program 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 program header table is larger than or equal to
PN_XNUM (0xffff), this member holds PN_XNUM (0xffff) and the real number of
entries in the program header table is held in the sh_info member of the
initial entry in section header table. Otherwise, the sh_info member of the
initial entry contains the value zero."
Since this check wasn't being made, grub_elfXX_get_phnum() is being added to
elfXX.c to make this check and use e_phnum if it doesn't have PN_XNUM as a
value, else use sh_info. We also need to make sure e_phnum isn't greater than
PN_XNUM and sh_info isn't less than PN_XNUM.
Note that even though elf.c and elfXX.c are located in grub-core/kern, they are
compiled as modules and don't need the EXPORT_FUNC() macro to define the functions
in elf.h.
Also, changed casts of phnum to match variables being set as well as dropped
casts when unnecessary.
