perf header: Sanity check HEADER_EVENT_DESC attr.size before swap

read_event_desc() reads nre (event count), sz (attr size), and nr
(IDs per event) from the file and uses them to control allocations
and loops without validating them against the section size.

A crafted perf.data could trigger large allocations or many loop
iterations before __do_read() eventually rejects the reads.

Add bounds checks in read_event_desc():
- Reject sz smaller than PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0.
- Require at least one event (nre > 0).
- Check that nre events fit in the remaining section, using the
  minimum per-event footprint of sz + sizeof(u32).
- Pre-swap attr->size to native byte order, then reject values
  below PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0 or above sz before calling
  perf_event__attr_swap() to prevent heap out-of-bounds access.
- Handle ABI0 (attr.size == 0): substitute PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER0,
  and on native-endian files write the value back so
  free_event_desc() does not treat the zero as its end-of-array
  sentinel (it iterates while attr.size != 0).  The swap path
  skips the write-back — perf_event__attr_swap() has its own
  ABI0 fallback that sets VER0 after swapping.
- Check that nr IDs fit in the remaining section before allocating.
