Another fuzzer attack.  This one was a "set" with elements using an
indirect type pointing back at the set.  The existing recursion check
only prevented simple recursion.

	* debug.c (struct debug_type_s): Add mark.
	(debug_write_type): Set mark and check before recursing into
	indirect types.

Apparently u.kindirect->slot can point at a NULL.

	* debug.c (debug_write_type): Don't segfault on NULL indirect.
