[patch] Add split DWARF (Fission) support to readelf/objdump


This patch adds support to readelf and objdump for the split debug
(Fission) extensions to DWARF:

   http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugFission

In summary, we've added the ability to dump all the .dwo debug
sections (most of which have the same format as the corresponding
regular debug sections), and the new DW_FORM, DW_OP, and DW_AT codes
that we've added. The --dwarf-check option is a new option to enable
some of the DWARF consistency checks that don't always work when not
all sections are present in the same file.

Tested on x86_64, with a compiler that generates split dwarf files.
(The GCC patches are about ready for submission.)

OK to commit?
