When compiling with -gsplit-dwarf -fdebug-types-section, DWARF 5
.debug_info.dwo sections may contain some type units:
$ llvm-dwarfdump -F -color a-test.dwo | head -n 5
a-test.dwo: file format elf64-x86-64
.debug_info.dwo contents:
0x00000000: Type Unit: length = 0x000008a0, format = DWARF32, version = 0x0005, unit_type = DW_UT_split_type, abbr_offset = 0x0000, addr_size = 0x08, name = 'vector<int, std::allocator<int> >', type_signature = 0xb499dcf29e2928c4, type_offset = 0x0023 (next unit at 0x000008a4)
In this case, create_dwo_cus_hash_table wrongly creates a dwo_unit for
it and adds it to dwo_file::cus. create_dwo_debug_type_hash_table later
correctly creates a dwo_unit that it puts in dwo_file::tus.
This can be observed with:
$ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory -ex 'maint set dwarf sync on' -ex "maint set worker-threads 0" -ex "set debug dwarf-read 2" -ex "file a.out" -batch
...

Fix it by skipping anything that isn't a compile unit in
create_dwo_cus_hash_table. After this patch, the debug output of
create_dwo_cus_hash_table only shows one created dwo_unit, as we expect.
I couldn't find any user-visible problem related to this, I just noticed
it while debugging.
