    maybe rewrite an attribute's form when reading
    
    if the attribute comes from a .dwz section, and it has a reference
    form, we rewrite it to DW_FORM_GNU_ref_alt.
    this lets us continue to invisibly handle abstract die inheritance,
    and the like, without changes all over the dwarf reader
    
    I'm still undecided as to whether this is clean enough to push
    upstream or whether some deeper fix ought to be done
