David Blaikie bd5c6367bd DWARF: debug_names: Don't emit entries for skeleton type units ...

When a type unit is emitted, the CU referencing the type unit ends up
with a little DW_TAG_*_type with the DW_AT_signature and
DW_AT_declaration sometimes referred to (by me? maybe other people?) as
a skeleton type.

We shouldn't produce .debug_names reference to these - only to the
actual type definition in the type unit. So this patch does that.

But, inversely, the .debug_gnu_pubtypes /does/ need to reference the
skeleton type (& gcc does this too, when it produces a skeleton type
(gcc doesn't always produce these - if the type is only referenced once
via DW_AT_type, gcc uses a direct DW_FORM_ref_sig8 on the DW_AT_type
without the intermediate skeleton type)) - so there's a little special
case added in to preserve that behavior which is covered by existing
tests.
