Tom Tromey 2ddeaf8a7d Handle DW_TAG_variant_part and DW_TAG_variant
This changes dwarf2read to understand DW_TAG_variant_part and
DW_TAG_variant.

Note that DW_AT_discr_list is not handled.  I did not need this for
Rust.  I imagine this should not be too hard to add later, should
someone need it.  Meanwhile I have gdb emit a complaint if it is seen.

There is a lurking issue concerning the placement of the discriminant
in the DWARF.  For Rust, I ended up following the letter of the
standard and having the discriminant be a child of the
DW_TAG_variant_part.  However, GCC's Ada support does not do this.
Pierre-Marie filed this with the DWARF committee:

    http://dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=180123.1

However as that is read-only, if you have comments you might consider
adding them to the GCC bug:

    https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83935

Finally, there is a DWARF extension lurking in here.  In Rust, a
univariant enum will not have a discriminant.  However, in order to
unify the representation of all data-carrying enums, I've made LLVM
(and my forthcoming rustc patch) emit a univariant enum using a
DW_TAG_variant with a single variant part and without DW_AT_discr.
The lack of this DW_AT_discr is the extension.  I will submit an issue
on dwarfstd.org about this.
