gdb: use std::vector instead of alloca in core_target::get_core_register_section
As I was trying to compile gdb for an m68k host, I got this error:
CXX corelow.o

We are using alloca to hold the contents of a the core register
sections. These sections are typically fairly small, but there is no
realy guarantee, so I think it would be more reasonable to just use
dynamic allocation here.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* corelow.c (core_target::get_core_register_section): Use
std::vector instead of alloca.
