debug/dwarf: speed up SkipChildren for compilation units

For a common pattern of iterating only over top-level compilation units (CU)
Reader.SkipChildren has decode and meterialize all CU subentries just
to skip them, because DW_TAG_compile_unit does not have DW_AT_sibling.
However, CUs have total size encoded before the unit and we already parse them
and know all unit sizes.
Optimize Reader.SkipChildren to use that size when skipping CUs children.

This speeds up iteration over a 1.3GB object file from 7.5s to 0.73s.
