Tom Tromey 20a5fcbd5b Handle bit offset and bit size in base types
PR symtab/25470 points out that the Zig programming language allows
integers of various bit sizes (including zero), not just sizes that
are a multiple of 8.

This is supported in DWARF by applying both a byte size and a
DW_AT_bit_size.

This patch adds support for this feature to integer and boolean types.
Other base types are not handled -- for floating-point types, this
didn't seem to make sense, and for character types I didn't see much
need.  (These can be added later if desired.)

I've also added support for DW_AT_data_bit_offset at the same time.  I
don't know whether the Zig compiler requires this, but it was
described in the same section in the DWARF standard and was easy to
add.

A new test case is supplied, using the DWARF assembler.
