debug/dwarf: factor parsing of unit lengths

Many headers in DWARF sections have a "unit length" that can be either
4 bytes or 12 bytes and indicates both the length of the unit and
whether the unit is in 32-bit or 64-bit format.

Currently, we implement unit length parsing in four different places.
Add a "unitLength" method to buf that parses a unit length and use it
in these four places.
