Add a checkSymbolTable() method to the MachOObjectFile class.

The philosophy of the error checking in libObject for Mach-O files
is that the constructor will check the load commands so for their
tables the offsets and sizes are properly contained in the file.
But there is no checking of the entries of any of the tables.

For the contents of the tables themselves the methods accessing
the contents of the entries return errors as needed.  In some
cases this however makes it difficult or cumbersome to produce
a good error message which would include the tool name, file name,
archive member, and name of the architecture of a slice of a universal file
the error occurred in.

So idea is that there will be a method to check a table which can
be called up front before using it allowing a good error message
to be produced before a table is used.  And if only verification of
the Mach-O file and its tables are wanted a new possible method
checkAllTables() could be added to call all of the methods to
check all the tables at some time when such methods exist.

The checkSymbolTable() is the first of such methods to check
one of the Mach-O file tables.  This method initially will used in
llvm-objdump’s DisassembleMachO() routine before it gets the
section and symbol information.  As if there are problems with
the symbol table currently the error is first encountered by the
bool operator() in the SymbolSorter() struct which passed to
std::sort().  In this case there is no context as to the file name
the symbol which results a poor error message:

LLVM ERROR: truncated or malformed object (bad string index: 22 for symbol at index 1)

with the added call to the checkSymbolTable() method the
error message includes the tool name and file name:

llvm-objdump: 'macho-invalid-symbol-strx': truncated or malformed object (bad string table index: 22 past the end of string table, for symbol at index 1)
llvm-svn: 286887
