libbacktrace: don't skip initial aligned byte in uncompressed block
Patch from Rui Ueyama, who says: libbacktrace occasionally fails to decompress compressed debug info even though the sections contain valid zlib streams. The cause of the issue is an off-by-one error. If a zlib data block is a plain data (uncompressed data), the next two bytes contain the size of the block. These two bytes value is byte- aligned, so if we read-ahead more than 8 bits, we need to unread it. So, the correct condition to determine whether or not we need to unread a byte is bits >= 8 and not bits > 8. Due to this error, if the last read bits happened to end at a byte boundary, the next byte would be skipped. That caused the decompression failure. This bug was originally reported against the mold linker. rui314/mold#402 * elf.c (elf_zlib_inflate): Don't skip initial aligned byte in uncompressed block.
