[PATCH] Fix reading .dwp files without .debug_tu_index


This patch fixes segmentation fault (due to dereferencing of a null pointer)
in dwarf2read.c in the code dwp_file->cus->version != dwp_file->tus->version
by adding defensive checks similarly to how it's already done
at the lines 11208 - 11215 (in the same file dwarf2read.c).
The issue can be reproduced with dwp packages built by llvm-dwp utility
(from the current upstream) since at the moment llvm-dwp doesn't create
.debug_tu_index section, thus dwp_file->tus will be null.

Test plan:

BUILD:
main.cpp:
int f() {
  int x = 0;
  int y = 1;
  return x + y;
}
g++ -fPIC -gsplit-dwarf -g -O0 main.cpp -o main.exe
llvm-dwp main.dwo -o main.exe.dwp
# This step is a workaround to a separate issue (unrelated to this patch).
# At the moment llvm tools & clang put .strtab section first (its index is
1),
# while gcc/gold/binutils put it at the end.
# Unfortunately gdb (in the code reading dwps) appears to depend on the
order
# of sections, to workaround this (to reproduce the issue which this patch
# aims to address) we use objcopy to do the following trick:
# if one asks to remove .strtab objcopy will do that but at the same time
# it will create a new .shstrtab section at the end.
objcopy --remove-section .strtab main.exe.dwp
RUN:
gdb main.exe
One can observe that now there is no crash and debugging functionality
works as expected (setting breakpoints, printing local variable, exploring
the stack).
