I didn't see the value of this change at first, but it makes the meaning of info_ptr
the same in read_partial_die as in skip_one_die, so I think it's good.  Could you
improve the documentation of read_partial_die to clarify that INFO_PTR points
after the abbrev code?  The skip_one_die doc already specifies that, so you could
just steal it from there.
