debug/dwarf: fix problem with DWARF 5 and Seek method

When clients use debug/dwarf to examine DWARF 5 binaries, we can run
into problems when the Seek() method is used to skip ahead from a DIE
in one compilation unit to a DIE in another unit. The problem here is
that it is common for DWARF 5 comp units to have attributes (ex:
DW_AT_addr_base) whose value must be applied as an offset when reading
certain forms (ex: DW_FORM_addrx) within that unit. The existing
implementation didn't have a good way to recover these attrs following
the Seek call, and had to essentially punt in this case, resulting in
incorrect attr values.

This patch adds new support for reading and caching the key comp unit
DIE attributes (DW_AT_addr_base, DW_AT_loclists_base, etc) prior to
visiting any of the DIE entries in a unit, storing the cache values of
these attrs the main table of units. This base attribute
reading/caching behavior also happens (where needed) after Seek calls.

Should resolve delve issue 3861.
