The Linux C++ exception handling data format (.eh_frame) can specify a
number of different encodings for the addresses it contains. This
patch extends dwarf2reader::ByteReader to read pointers encoded in
these ways.

Define a new DWARF parser class, dwarf2reader::CallFrameInfo.
Extend google_breakpad::Module to store and write out 'STACK CFI' records.
Define a new google_breakpad::DwarfCFIToModule class, to accept DWARF
CFI data from the parser and populate a Module with the equivalent
STACK CFI records.
Extend the Linux symbol dumping tool, dump_syms, to use
dwarf2reader::CallFrameInfo, google_breakpad::DwarfCFIToModule, and
google_breakpad::Module to extract DWARF CFI from the executable or
shared library files and write it to the Breakpad symbol file.
Define CFISection, a new class derived from TestAssembler::Section,
for use in creating DWARF CFI data for test cases.

This is preparation for adding support for reading Linux C++ exception
handling data's encoded pointers. The change should have no user-visible
effect; it simply expands the comments for dwarf2reader::ByteReader, and
regroups the member functions.

Without this patch, debugging information like the following will produce
FUNC records with no names, because the dumper (correctly) ignores the
DW_TAG_subprogram DIEs that lack DW_AT_low_pc/DW_AT_high_pc attributes, but
won't follow the DW_AT_abstract_origin link from the DIE that does have
code addresses to find its name.

This also includes some comments I promised Cary Coutant I'd write
about the appropriateness of processing attributes in EndAttributes
calls.
The Google C++ Style Guide requires each file to have an author notice
and a comment explaining the file's general purpose. For the record, I
don't think putting an author notice on the files is a good idea; it's
odd to have the original author retain prominence even if the file has
been heavily edited by others; the version control system answers this
question more accurately. This is only for Style Guide compliance. The
Apache group decided to discourage author annotations, partially for
these reasons:

it was a static function, to being a member function of
google_breakpad::ByteReader.

dwarf2reader::CompilationUnit is a simple and direct parser for DWARF
data, but its handler interface is not convenient to use. In
particular, the same handler object receives data about all DIEs
processed. One can't use distinct classes to separate the information
needed to handle different kinds of data.
This patch defines a new adapter type, dwarf2reader::DIEHandler, which
implements the existing DWARF parser's handler interface, given a
handler written to a more comfortable, object-orient interface. The
comments in dwarf2diehandler.h provide more detail.

Breakpad's DWARF line number info parser provides a code address,
file, and line number for each code/source pairing, but doesn't
provide the length of the machine code. This makes that change, as
discussed in the following thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/google-breakpad-dev/browse_thread/thread/ed8d2fde79319368p
This patch also makes the corresponding changes to the functioninfo.cc
module, used by the Mac dumper. This patch has no effect on the Mac
dumper's output.

The DWARF specification specifices which names the sections containing
DWARF information should have. OSX uses slightly different names. This
patch changes the DWARF reader to look for the sections under both
sets of names.

Add a new member function to dwarf2reader::Dwarf2Handler,
ProcessAttributeReference, for reporting attribute values that are
references to other DIEs. This handler member function always receives
an absolute offset (that is, relative to the start of the .debug_info
section, not to the start of the compilation unit), regardless of the
form the attribute uses. (Some forms are CU-relative, some are
absolute.)

Fix typos.
For CompilationUnit::Start, I was confused by the '-' in the original
comment, taking it for a parenthetic clause marker, assuming an
implicit "of the next compilation unit" at the end of the sentence.
The comments should refer to the ".debug_info" section, not the
"debug_info" section. The latter is not the section name actually used
on any system (ELF or Mach-O), and the former is the name prescribed
by the DWARF spec.
Some of the comments for ProcessAttribute* member functions claim that
OFFSET is from the start of the compilation unit, but that's not so:
the code has always passed an offset relative to the start of the
.debug_info section.

src/common/dwarf/dwarf2reader.cc uses the old-fashioned <stdio.h>
facilities to report errors. Ideally, we would add a 'Warning' message
to the handler and make the client responsible for dealing with the
errors, but this at least allows us to compile.
Ubuntu 9.10 uses GCC 4.4.1; under older versions of GCC, this wasn't a
problem, probably because stdio.h was being brought in inadvertently
somewhere else.

It seems that a use of the <stdint.h> type uintptr_t has crept into
the DWARF parser. This defines a workaround for the GNU compilers
(tested on both Mac and Linux) which will raise an error if it doesn't
work.
My personal preference would be just to assume that the <stdint.h>
header is available and use the standard types everywhere, but 1) that
would be a large change, likely to make merges with the other branches
of the DWARF parser more difficult, and 2) it would make it quite
difficult to build under Microsoft Visual Studio, which doesn't have
the <stdint.h> header; Microsoft has said they have no plans to
provide it, as they would rather "focus their efforts" on C++ and
.NET.

Move the DWARF parser, and the functioninfo.cc DWARF consumer, from
src/common/mac/dwarf to src/commmon/dwarf, so that it can be shared

Xcode build files.
