[PATCH] Two fixes in dwarf-mode.el

This fixes a couple of small problems in dwarf-mode.el.

First, I noticed that for an attribute like:

 <2><136c>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_member)
    <136d>   DW_AT_name        : t

... the "t" would not be font-locked using the function name face.
The problem here is that the regexp assumed the indirect string
format, like:

    <12ac>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x1b40): whatever

Here the fix is to adjust the regexp to match both formats.

Second, when following a DIE reference, point could end up on an
attribute instead.  This happens when there is a zero-length attribute
with the same "offset" as the following DIE, like:

    <12c5>   DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites: 1
 <2><12c5>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_formal_parameter)

Here the fix is to search for the DIE by looking for the depth ("<2>"
in the example) as well.

I've bumped the internal version number to make it simpler to install
this using the Emacs package facility.

In https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22249#c10, Nick
offered me maintainership of this file, but I wasn't sure if that was
official or not, so I haven't pushed it.
