Prevent out-of-bounds memory reads when parsing corrupted or maliciously crafted
perf.data files by introducing robust bounds validation to raw data accessors.

- Add a helper out_of_bounds() to check if field offsets and sizes exceed the
  sample's raw_size boundary, preventing heap read overflows.
- In perf_sample__rawptr(), properly resolve newer relative dynamic tracepoint
  fields (__rel_loc) by checking the boundaries before and after reading the
  dynamic field descriptor.
- Byte-swap dynamic field offsets and sizes dynamically when endianness varies,
  ensuring cross-endian parsing is robust.
