ptx: fix whitespace trimming with multiple files

This issue was identified by running the test suite with
http://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/
which is included in GCC 4.8 and enabled with -fsanitize=address

This was checked on Fedora 20 with GCC 4.8 as follows:

  $ yum install libasan  # http://bugzilla.redhat.com/991003
  $ rm -f src/ptx.o
  $ make check AM_CFLAGS='-fsanitize=address' SUBDIRS=. VERBOSE=yes
  $ failure identified in tests/test-suite.log

To see this particular failure triggered with multiple files:

  $ src/ptx <(echo a) <(echo a) 2>&1 | asan_symbolize.py -d

==32178==ABORTING

The initial report and high level analysis were from Jim Meyering...

  "The underlying problem is that swallow_file_in_memory()
  is setting the contents of the global text_buffer for the first file,
  then updating it (clobbering old value) for the second file.
  Yet, some pointers to the initial buffer have been squirreled away
  and later, one of them (keyafter) is presumed to point into
  the new "text_buffer", which it does not.  The subsequent
  SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS use backs up "cursor" and goes out of bounds."

* src/ptx.c (text_buffers): Maintain references for the limits of each
buffer corresponding to each file, rather than just the last processed.
(struct OCCURS): Add a member to map back to the corresponding file.
Note normally this could be computed from the "reference" member
rather than needing the extra storage, however this is not possible
when in --references mode.
(find_occurs_in_text): Reference the array rather than a single entry.
(define_all_fields): Likewise.  Also avoid computing the file index
since this is now stored directly.
(main): Update text_buffers[] array rather than a single text_buffer.
* tests/misc/ptx-overrun.sh: Even though this issue is already triggered
with AddressSanitizer, add a new case to demonstrate the whitespace
trimming issue, and to trigger without AddressSanitizer.
