After double checking the test results after incorporating the full
DWARF5 rnglists support into readelf and libdw I found an embarrassing
bug. We didn't initialize the CU ranges_base causing some bad test
results. We also didn't handle bad DWARF correctly in one case. I am
pushing the following fixes for this.
