test case

We have a test case built with CompCert, for which (I think ;-) llvm-dwarfdump
falsely emits an error on "llvm-dwarfdump -all -verify $attached_binary":
> error: Unable to resolve DW_LLE_offset_pair: base address unknown

This only happened after upgrading llvm to a newer trunk. Tested last week with
git/master cd2a73a9f01b2ec1b7e239ba83201199df0d7912 (the relevant code doesn't
seem to have changed since then).

The problem seems to be that some DWARF3 .debug_loc info is parsed as a DWARF5
DW_LLE_offset_pair, and in that case the parser (now) always expects a
DW_LLE_base_address to be set - else it emits the above error. For DWARF5 that
would be correct, however, for DWARF3 there are no DW_LLE_* codes, and the
parser should just use an offset of 0.

Some digging points to https://reviews.llvm.org/D70081 and commit
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/ebe2f56030458e7a4c2375c6d92a48f0ed01eb5b
- more specifically, the code around the "if (!Base)" at
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blame/master/llvm/lib/DebugInfo/DWARF/DWARFDebugLoc.cpp#L81

Hence adding labath to CC list.

debug_info (header), only a single CU, version is 3:

debug_info (for this entry the verification fails):

debug_abbrev for the above entry:

The attached binary is built with (latest as of 30th Dec) CompCert for AArch64.
