Hmm, I initially thought they were not necessary, but looking at the
rustc DWARF output a bit more closely, it might actually be a good
idea to include this information. I'll add these both, although since
DW_AT_discr just points to a member DIE, it's probably enough to just
process all child DIEs for the variant_part instead of limiting
ourselves to variants only.

Oops, I'll fix this too. Thanks!
