libdw: Add dwarf_peel_type. Use it in dwarf_aggregate_size.
Add new function dwarf_peel_type. Some type annotations in DWARF are
specified by modifier tag type wrappers instead of attributes.
For type aliases (typedef) and qualifiers (const, volatile, restrict)
tags dwarf_peel_type follows the DW_AT_type attributes till it finds
a base, user-defined, reference or pointer type DIE.
Use this new function in the backends for return type DIEs (replacing
the existing dwarf_peel_type there) and in dwarf_aggregate_size so
it can provide the sizes for qualified types too. Add a new version
and testcase for the new dwarf_aggregate_size functionality.
