By separating the Unwind table into a different file, this functionality can be a part of the DWARF library with no dependency on MC, which make it usable in the MC layer.

Its use case is described in this RFC (TBA).

This is a continuation of [PR#<!-- -->14520](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/142520).
