> Our dwarf parser (gdb's dwarf parser before this April is as well [1], which encountered the same issue on RISC-V) uses `address == 0 && size == 0` in `is_terminating_entry()` to detect terminations of an arange section, which will early terminate parsing RISC-V's debuginfo at an "apparent terminator" described in [1] so that the result would not look correct with tests failures. The `_header._unit_length` is read but not used and it is the real length that can determine the section's end, so we can use it to get the end position of a section instead of `address == 0 && size == 0` checks to fix this issue.
>
> Also, the reason why `readelf` has no such issue is it also uses the same approach to determine the end position. [2]
>
> Tests added along with the dwarf parser patch are all tested and passed on x86_64, aarch64, and riscv64.
> Running a tier1 sanity test now.
