[RFA] Add dwarf2 support to xcoff (aix)


Hi,

with AIX 7, the xcoff binary file format now supports dwarf2.  This is a
huge step forward as the previous debugging format was a varation of stabs.

But (and there is always a but) this is not fully standard dwarf2 as the
section names differ. The first two patches deal with that in the most
elegant way I could figure.

The last two patches simply add the dwarf2 support for xcoff.

Manually tested on AIX.
No regressions on gnu/linux x86-64.

Ok for trunk ?

Tristan.
