Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [libunwind] Fix wrong end argument passed to
 decodeEHHdr()

All but one callsite were actually passing start+length arguments.
This should not have any functional change since the end argument is
almost always ignored.
I noticed this while debugging some incorrect error messages being
printed while running the testsuite baremetal (using binaries that did
not have a valid eh_frame_hdr section): the tests print
`libunwind: unsupported .eh_frame_hdr version: 20 at 8000d308` because
libunwind is reading nonsense data for .eh_frame_hdr.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [libunwind] Avoid reading OOB for non-existent
 .eh_frame_hdr

I was running the tests with baremetal picolibc which has a linker
script that __eh_frame_start==__eh_frame_end (not equal to zero) in
case there is no .eh_frame_hdr.
I noticed that libunwind was trying to read nonsense data because it
was printing messages such as
`libunwind: unsupported .eh_frame_hdr version: 20 at 8000d308`

This change adds a ehHdrSize check to avoid reading this out-of-bounds
data and potentially crashing.
