I am still going to investigate your `DW_FORM_*` dispatching suggestion 
<https://reviews.llvm.org/D58330#1400847>.  It looks too simple to work, maybe 
it is the right way forward.

Because GDB does not need to return back to DWARF after it is parsed - but then 
for LLDB the multiple-sections dispatching could be done only for `user_id_t`

Because DataExtractor accesses always start at offset 0.

It would fall back to the section-reading (instead of section-mmapping) less 
performing fallback in `get_debug_info_data()`.  If there are any such files 
out there sure the code could be extended to handle both orders of 
`.debug_info` and `.debug_types` but personally I do not think it is worth the 
code complication given there is the fallback anyway. I can put a warning there 
for such case so that it would be easily noticed in the future - but then maybe 
one could already rather extend the code, any suggestions what to choose?
