Newer gcc versions default to -Werror=narrowing when using newer C++
standards (which we do). This causes issues when we try to stuff a
value like 0xea into a char -- the value is out of range for signed
char bytes. That's when gcc throws an error:
.../bytereader_unittest.cc: In member function 'virtual void Reader_DW_EH_PE_absptr4_Test::TestBody()':
.../bytereader_unittest.cc:400:55: error: narrowing conversion of '234' from 'int' to 'char' inside { } [-Wnarrowing]

This patch allows Breakpad's DWARF reader to at least read or skip
attributes using the new forms defined in version 4 of the DWARF
specification, instead of crashing.
Attributes encoded using DW_FORM_flag_present, DW_FORM_sec_offset, and
DW_FORM_exprloc should work fine now. However, compilation units using
DW_FORM_ref_sig8 to refer to types in .debug_types will need further work
to support. (GCC 4.6.2 does not emit .debug_types sections.)
Specifically:
- dwarf2reader::DwarfForm gets new values.
- dwarf2reader::Dwarf2Handler and dwarf2reader::DIEHandler get new handler
methods, named ProcessAttributeSignature, for DW_FORM_ref_sig8 attributes.
- dwarf2reader::CompilationUnit reads DW_FORM_ref_sig8 attributes, and
passes them to ProcessAttributeSignature. It also gets support for
DW_FORM_sec_offset, DW_FORM_exprloc, and DW_FORM_flag_present, using the
existing appropriate ProcessAttribute* methods.
- dwarf2reader::DIEDispatcher passes through ProcessAttributeSignature
attributes to its DIEHandler.
- Unit tests are updated.

This is really incomplete --- it's just what's needed to get started
testing support for the DWARF 4 attribute forms.
