Re: [PATCH] libdw: dwarf_getsrclines mark highest address as end_sequence.

Make sure the highest address for the CU is marked as end_sequence. This is required by the DWARF spec, but some compilers forget and dwfl_module_getsrc depends on it. We could reject it as bad DWARF but the DWARF .debug_lines spec is much stricter than what compilers seem to output in practice.

For context: right now we assert when we encounter Dwarf like that, so this is certainly better.

I'm kind of split on this, a part of me would like to reject such Dwarf. But this is more helpful to the user, and even though this could result in a wrong answer, that's just garbage in-garbage out principle at works.
