[PATCH 8.2+trunk 2/2] Set TYPE_LENGTH on a variant part

gdb represents a DW_TAG_variant_part as a union.  While normally DWARF
would not set the size of a DW_TAG_variant_part, gdb's representation
requires the TYPE_LENGTH to be set.

This patch arranges to set the TYPE_LENGTH of a variant part if it has
not already been set.

This fixes some Rust regressions when testing against a version of
rustc that emits DW_TAG_variant_part.
