Avoid undefined behavior (sanitizer warning)

The svd code contains some index trickery, because the original code
was written in fortran, which numbers arrays starting from '1'
rather than from '0'.  This trickery included having a pointer point
1 int in front of an allocated array, implicitly relying on the
fact that pointer[0] would never be called.  The llvm sanitizer
complains nevertheless, so this patch improves the trickery a little
to avoid the objected pointer.
