Generally this bug exploits the situation when a segment's file size and DT_STRTAB together are broken in the way that allows a DT_STRTAB value to pass all current
checks, but triggers an access to area that is out of object buffer bounds.

E.g. We have `VAddr` == DT_STRTAB == 0xFFFE. We want to pass the last check:

  uint64_t Delta = VAddr - Phdr.p_vaddr;
  if (Delta >= Phdr.p_filesz)
    return createError("virtual address is not in any segment: 0x" +
                       Twine::utohexstr(VAddr));

So we need to have a `p_filesz` that is larger than 0xFFFE.

I.e technically `DT_STRTAB` value kind of fits the segment (0xFFFE < 0xFFFF), but it is still broken too.
(Or, perhaps, from another POV: we have a file that is truncated, what is probably a more real case).

> What about if only part of the DT_STRTAB range is within the file (i.e. DT_STRTAB is less than file size but DT_STRTAB + DT_STRSZ is past the end)?

Yes, I think this might trigger an issue too. If you do not mind I'd fix it in a follow-up. I have found a few situations (different ones, not just related to dynamic tags) where we might crash
and plan to investigate and prepare patches for all such places. I can start looking at `DT_STRSZ` case (and I guess some other dynamic tags) in the first place
while I am here in the code.
