dump_syms: handle forward reference DWARF attributes

DW_AT_specification and DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes carry
references to other DIEs. Nothing prevents the DIEs referred to from
appearing later in .debug_info than the DIE containing the referring
attribute, but dump_syms incompletly implemented its handling of these
references, and was only able to resolve them when they were
back-references.

This will fix the chronic warnings produced by dump_syms of the form:

dump_syms: the DIE at offset <offset> has a {DW_AT_specification,
DW_AT_abstract_origin} attribute referring to the die at offset
<offset>, which either was not marked as {a declaration, an inline}, or
comes later in the file
