Verify that all references point to actual DIEs in "llvm-dwarfdump --verify"

Summary

LTO and other fancy linking previously led to DWARF that contained invalid references. We already validate that CU relative references fall into the CU, and the DW_FORM_ref_addr references fall inside the .debug_info section, but we didn't validate that the references pointed to correct DIE offsets. This new verification will ensure that all references refer to actual DIEs and not an offset in between.

This caught a bug in DWARFUnit::getDIEForOffset() where if you gave it any offset, it would match the DIE that mathes the offset _or_ the next DIE. This has been fixed.

I also moved the verification code over into a Verifier class to prepare for future extra verification steps where we will need to persist data between two steps.

Do we need a sorted container here or would an llvm::DenseMap be sufficient (and faster)?

We can change this if needed. std::unordered_set would work as well.
