[DWARF parser] Add basic support for DWZ DWARF multifile extensions.

This change implements basic support for DWARF alternate sections
proposal: http://www.dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=120604.1&type=open

LLVM tools now understand new forms: DW_FORM_GNU_ref_alt and
DW_FORM_GNU_strp_alt, which are used as references to .debug_info and
.debug_str sections respectively, stored in a separate file, and
possibly shared between different executables / shared objects.

llvm-dwarfdump and llvm-symbolizer don't yet know how to access this
alternate debug file (usually pointed by .gnu_debugaltlink section),
but they can at lease properly parse and dump regular files, which
refer to it.

This change should fix crashes of llvm-dwarfdump and llvm-symbolizer on
files produced by running "dwz" tool. Such files are already installed
on some modern Linux distributions.
