x86/insn-eval: Incorporate segment base in linear address computation



insn_get_addr_ref() returns the effective address as defined by the
section 3.7.5.1 Vol 1 of the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software
Developer's Manual. In order to compute the linear address, we must add
to the effective address the segment base address as set in the segment
descriptor. The segment descriptor to use depends on the register used as
operand and segment override prefixes, if any.

In most cases, the segment base address will be 0 if the USER_DS/USER32_DS
segment is used or if segmentation is not used. However, the base address
is not necessarily zero if a user programs defines its own segments. This
is possible by using a local descriptor table.

Since the effective address is a signed quantity, the unsigned segment
base address is saved in a separate variable and added to the final,
unsigned, effective address.
