[Crash-utility] [PATCH v2] crash: dis: introduce count in reverse and forward mode

Changes since v1: - Update 'dis' help page - Resolve patch fuzz The purpose of this patch is to add support for a count value in reverse or forward mode, during disassembly: 'dis [-r|-f] [symbol|address] [count]' For example: crash> dis -f list_del+0x16 4 0xffffffff812b3346 <list_del+22>: jne 0xffffffff812b3381 <list_del+81> 0xffffffff812b3348 <list_del+24>: mov (%rbx),%rax 0xffffffff812b334b <list_del+27>: mov 0x8(%rax),%r8 0xffffffff812b334f <list_del+31>: cmp %r8,%rbx crash> dis -r list_del+0x16 4 0xffffffff812b333c <list_del+12>: mov 0x8(%rdi),%rax 0xffffffff812b3340 <list_del+16>: mov (%rax),%r8 0xffffffff812b3343 <list_del+19>: cmp %r8,%rdi 0xffffffff812b3346 <list_del+22>: jne 0xffffffff812b3381 <list_del+81> To support this feature, I have essentially incorported GDB commit bb556f1facb ("Add negative repeat count to 'x' command"), with some additional changes to maintain default behaviour i.e. always display the target instruction with the examine command.
