While looking for things that already has a cached result, I noticed that the main file's DWARF 5 checksum is computed twice: once in `CreateCompileUnit` and again in the first `getOrCreateFile()`, even though the CU already has it.
It's a nice small win on debug builds (−0.72% on sqlite3, −0.17% geomean) and it shouldn't change any behaviour:
