x86/insn-eval: Add support to resolve 32-bit address encodings



32-bit and 64-bit address encodings are identical. Thus, the same logic
could be used to resolve the effective address. However, there are two key
differences: address size and enforcement of segment limits.

If running a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel, it is best to perform
the address calculation using 32-bit data types. In this manner hardware
is used for the arithmetic, including handling of signs and overflows.

32-bit addresses are generally used in protected mode; segment limits are
enforced in this mode. This implementation obtains the limit of the
segment associated with the instruction operands and prefixes. If the
computed address is outside the segment limits, an error is returned. It
is also possible to use 32-bit address in long mode and virtual-8086 mode
by using an address override prefix. In such cases, segment limits are not
enforced.

Support to use 32-bit arithmetic is added to the utility functions that
compute effective addresses. However, the end result is stored in a
variable of type long (which has a width of 8 bytes in 64-bit builds).
Hence, once a 32-bit effective address is computed, the 4 most significant
bytes are masked out to avoid sign extension.

The newly added function get_addr_ref_32() is almost identical to the
existing function insn_get_addr_ref() (used for 64-bit addresses). The only
difference is that it verifies that the effective address is within the
limits of the segment.
