I would like to ask that all new GNU extensions be documented in
dwarf2.h.  The existing extensions are already the subject of some
bafflement; I would like to end this practice.

I think my ideal form for this would be a long comment in the style of
the rest of the DWARF standard -- something that someone already
familiar with DWARF could readily read and understand.
