[PATCH] GDB: Fix the overflow in addr_is_displayed()

From: Shahab Vahedi <shahab@synopsys.com>

In a corner case scenario, where the height of the assembly TUI is
bigger than the number of instructions in the whole program, GDB
dumps core. The problem roots in this condition check:

  int i = 0;
  while (i < content. size() - threshold ...) {
    ... content[i] ...
  }

"threshold" is 2 and there are times that "content. size()" is 0.
This results into an overflow and the loop is entered whereas it
should have been skipped.

This has been discussed at length in bug 25345:

2020-01-04  Shahab Vahedi  <shahab@synopsys.com>
        * tui/tui-disasm.c (tui_disasm_window::addr_is_displayed):
        Treat "content.size()" as "int" to avoid overflow.
