    PR19323 memory allocation greater than 4G

    On 32-bit targets, memory requested for program/section headers on a
    fuzzed binary can wrap to 0.  A bfd_alloc of zero bytes actually
    returns a one byte allocation rather than a NULL pointer.  This then
    leads to buffer overflows.

    Making this check unconditional triggers an extremely annoying gcc-5
    warning.

        * elfcode.h (elf_object_p): Check for ridiculous e_shnum and
        e_phnum values.
