Breakpad DWARF parser: Expand comments for ByteReader class.

Browse Source 
This is preparation for adding support for reading Linux C++ exception
handling data's encoded pointers. The change should have no user-visible
effect; it simply expands the comments for dwarf2reader::ByteReader, and
regroups the member functions.

// DWARF actually defines two slightly different formats: 32-bit DWARF

// addresses on the target machine; it refers only to the size of section
// offsets and data lengths appearing in the DWARF data. One only needs

// in that data. The ReadInitialLength member function, below, reads an
// initial length and sets the ByteReader's offset size as a side effect.
// Thus, in the normal process of reading DWARF data, the appropriate
// offset size is set automatically. So, you should only need to call
// SetOffsetSize if you are using the same ByteReader to jump from the
// midst of one block of DWARF data into another.

// initial length) or 8 (if we see a 64-bit DWARF initial length).
//
// A DWARF initial length is either:
//
// - a byte count stored as an unsigned 32-bit value less than
