Commit: Add support for DWARF-5 .debug_line sections

Hi Guys,

  I am applying the attached patch to add support for DWARF-5
  .debug_line sections.  DWARF v5 changes the format of the
  section's header so that the layout of the directory table and the
  file table are explicitly specified.  This allow for extra fields
  and also the possibility of reducing the size of the tables by not
  storing unneeded fields.

  The patch also extended the .file directive so that it can take an
  optional directory name and md5 sum, like this:

    .file <fileno> [<dirname>] <filename> [md5 <value>]

  The md5 sum is a hash of the source file, so that consumers can verify
  that any file that they locate matches the debug information.

  As part of the patch I have also updated the DWARF decoder used by
  readelf and objdump to enhance its display of version 5 directory and
  file name tables.
  
Cheers
  Nick
