All of it. (partly under the argument that no code changes were required to
provide this functionality, but to be more complete:

* We already have test coverage for emitting the correct DW_AT_type value
here
* We already have test coverage that the arbitrary bytes in the constant
value are emitted into the right place in the DW_AT_const_value or whatnot

So what's the particularly interesting thing about testing the combination
of those two (so far as I can see) orthogonal features?)
