OverflowException in CPUID constructor

Version: 0.1.33.0

System.OverflowException: Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.

There are three sources of OverflowException in the CPUID constructor.

1) UIntPtr mask = (UIntPtr)(1L << thread); 
2) cpuidData = new uint[maxCpuid + 1, 4];
3) cpuidExtData = new uint[maxCpuidExt + 1, 4];

The case (1) does is not the reason for the stack trace above, because the
CPUID is never called with thread >= 32. But this should still be checked
in the constructor to avoid problems in the future.

For cases (2) and (3) an OverflowException can be thrown for example in
cases where maxCpuid + 1 = 0x80000000. This could happen if the eax = 0 in
"maxCpuidExt = eax - CPUID_EXT". So additional checks should be added to
the code for the calculation of maxCpuid and maxCpuidExt.
