[dev.link] cmd/{compile,link}: split SDWARFINFO symtype into sub-types

This change splits the SDWARFINFO symbol type (a generic container of
DWARF content) into separate sub-classes. The new symbol types are

 SDWARFCUINFO    comp unit DIE, also CU info and CU packagename syms
 SDWARFCONST     constant DIE
 SDWARFFCN       subprogram DIE (default and concrete)
 SDWARFABSFCN    abstract function DIE
 SDWARFTYPE      type DIE
 SDWARFVAR       global variable DIE

Advantage of doing this: in the linker there are several places where
we have to iterate over a symbol's relocations to pick out references
to specific classes of DWARF sub-symbols (for example, looking for all
abstract function DIEs referenced by a subprogram DIE, or looking at
all the type DIEs used in a subprogram DIE). By splitting SDWARFINFO
into parts clients can now look only at the relocation target's sym
type as opposed to having to materialize the target sym name, or do a
lookup.
