  A corrupt debuginfo file can result in a null abbrev_info pointer
being passed to cooked_indexer::scan_attributes.  This pointer
is set to nullptr by peek_die_abbrev when an abbrev of 0 is found.

There is no check for whether the abbrev pointer is null and
SIGSEGV occurs when attempting to dereference the pointer.

An abbrev of 0 normally indicates that the corresponding DIE is a
null entry, but scan_attributes expects a non-null DIE.

Fix this by throwing an error in cooked_indexer::scan_attributes
when peek_die_abbrev returns a nullptr in order to avoid
scan_attributes calling itself with a null abbrev.

If this goes in after Tom's patch to reword DWARF errors, please update
before pushing.

I wonder if that '.' is really the way to go.

anyway,
