Debug Info: Add basic support for external types references.

This is a necessary prerequisite for bootstrapping the emission
of debug info inside modules.

- Adds a FlagExternalTypeRef to DICompositeType.
  External types must have a unique identifier.
- External type references are emitted using a forward declaration
  with a DW_AT_signature([DW_FORM_ref_sig8]) based on the UID.
