gettext.GNUTranslations raises struct.error instead of OSError on a malformed .mo file

Bug report

Bug description:

gettext.GNUTranslations parses a .mo file by unpacking its header and seek
tables with struct.unpack, but never checks the file is long enough. A
truncated file (shorter than the 20-byte header) or one whose seek tables point
past the end raises a raw struct.error instead of the OSError the module
already raises for other malformed input (a bad magic number, a bad version, or
an out-of-range string offset). The documentation states OSError is raised for
problems while reading the file, so the struct.error is an undocumented leak.

import gettext, io
gettext.GNUTranslations(io.BytesIO(b"\xde\x12\x04\x95")) # raises struct.error
