x86/insn-eval: Add utility function to get segment descriptor

The segment descriptor contains information that is relevant to how linear
addresses need to be computed. It contains the default size of addresses
as well as the base address of the segment. Thus, given a segment
selector, we ought to look at segment descriptor to correctly calculate
the linear address.

In protected mode, the segment selector might indicate a segment
descriptor from either the global descriptor table or a local descriptor
table. Both cases are considered in this function.

This function is a prerequisite for functions in subsequent commits that
will obtain the aforementioned attributes of the segment descriptor.
