[PATCH 07/10] libsframe: guard against buffer over-read in sframe_fde_tbl_init

In SFrame V3, the FDE attribute data is stored near the SFrame FREs. In
sframe_fde_tbl_init(), for SFrame V3 format,
fdep->sfdi_func_start_fre_off was used to index into fre_buf without
verifying if sfdi_func_start_fre_off + sizeof(sframe_func_desc_attr_v3)
<= fre_buf_len. If left unchecked, this may cause buffer over-reads in case
of invalid SFrame data.
Pass FRE buffer len to sframe_fde_tbl_init(), and validate
sfdi_func_start_fre_off against that guard before reading FDE attribute
data.
