[Mono-dev] [PATCH] Perform bounds check on table decode

Hey,

The attached patch adds an assert in both mono_metadata_decode_row(_col). I
think it's better to assert than access random data.

On the other hard, functions that decode metadata tables must perform such
checks and raise the apropriate error. The attached patch fixes that for
mono_get_method_from_token, which is what I have tests for now. Most of this
bounds checking could be done in mono_method_to_ir, which would avoid
tripping into the metadata stuff.

Just one thing, the test requires that my previous patch to ilasm be
applied.
