[PATCH] Avoid invoking undefined behavior when initializing CRC table

[Patrick Palka]

When I built GDB with (an older snapshot of) GCC 6 I get the following
error:

.../binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbserver/server.c: In function ‘crc32’:
.../binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbserver/server.c:1895:15: error: iteration 128 invokes undefined behavior [-Werror=aggressive-loop-optimizations]
    for (c = i << 24, j = 8; j > 0; --j)
               ^
.../binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbserver/server.c:1893:7: note: within this loop
       for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)
       ^
This error seems to be correct.  When the variable "int i" is >= 128,
the computation "i << 24" overflows for 32-bit signed int.

To avoid shifting into the sign bit, this patch makes the variables i
(and j, because why not) have type unsigned int instead.

(Alternatively, I can just define this local crc32 function in terms of
libiberty's xcrc32.  Any reason not to?  xcrc32 seems to be
based off of GDB's crc32 implementation.  Its documentation even
refers to it!)

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

	* server.c (crc32): Change type of induction variables i and j
	from int to unsigned int.
