    intel_bios_reader: Sanitize input to ensure all data blocks are within bound

    Running intel_bios_reader upon itself causes the reader to crash and
    burn. It obviously finds a VBT signature inside the binary, but then
    does not rigorously check that all data blocks are valid before
    dereferencing them.
