.mdebug parser failing on IDO 5.3/7.1 -g1, -g2, -g3 #272

Description

@Francessco121

objdiff is unable to correctly read the .mdebug section of object files compiled via IDO 5.3/7.1 with the flags -g1, -g2, and -g3. In these modes, IDO adds a ton of extra data to this section that seems to break the current parser.

Here's an example file compiled with -g0 (working) and -g3 (not working):
camstatic_g0.zip
camstatic_g3.zip
(the file is also compiled with -O2 -KPIC but it doesn't seem to matter, non -KPIC files also don't work)

Some files throw the error Failed to parse MIPS mdebug line info: range exceeds .mdebug size but usually it just silently fails.
Example file that emits that error (-g3, not -KPIC):
main.zip

mips-linux-gnu-objdump -drl correctly displays line numbers for these files, so the section doesn't appear to be corrupt.
