This could be 'null' or the empty string, DIDescriptor::getStringField
coalesces the two cases anyway so it's just a matter of legible/efficient
representation.
The change in behavior of the DICompileUnit::get* functions could be
subsumed by the full verification check - but ideally that should just be an
assertion if we could front-load the actual debug info metadata failure paths.

The main lists of debug info metadata attached to the compile_unit had an extra
layer of metadata nodes they went through for no apparent reason. This patch
removes that (& still passes just as much of the GDB 7.5 test suite). If anyone
can show evidence as to why these extra metadata nodes are there I'm open to
reverting this patch & documenting why they're there.

The count attribute is more accurate with regards to the size of an array. It
also obviates the upper bound attribute in the subrange. We can also better
handle an unbound array by setting the count to -1 instead of the lower bound to
1 and upper bound to 0.

The count field is necessary because there isn't a difference between the 'lo'
and 'hi' attributes for a one-element array and a zero-element array. When the
count is '0', we know that this is a zero-element array. When it's >=1, then
it's a normal constant sized array. When it's -1, then the array is unbounded.
