Any underflow which might happen, will be countered by an overflow in
dwarf.c.

Tested on x86_64-linux and i686-w64-mingw32.

Fixes https://github.com/ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace/issues/89 and
https://github.com/ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace/issues/82.

	* pecoff.c (coff_add): Set the base_address of the module, to
	find the debug information on moved applications.
