Fix reference from PU to CU

[ Backport of master commit bce3238. ]

Consider the following situation:
- we have two duplicate chains: {A, B} and {C, D, E}
- each duplicate chain has a representant: A' and C'
- there's a pseudo-ref from Z to D, which is using one of the CU-local dwarf
  operators DW_OP_GNU_{{regval,deref,const}_type,convert,reinterpret} (which
  is summarized in the code by setting D->die_op_type_referenced).

Schematically this looks like this:
...
(A') --------d-------> (A) --d--> (B)
                        |          |
                        r          r
                        |          |
                        v          v
(C') --d--> (C) --d--> (D) --d--> (E)
                        ^
                        |
                        pr
                        |
                       (Z)
...

Because the die D is referenced using a CU-local dwarf operator, the die is
kept in the CU (even though it's part of a duplicate chain), to keep the
pseudo-ref valid.  Also other CU-local refs to D keep pointing to D.

A situation however arises while writing out A' to a partial unit using A as
template, when we try to write out the reference to D, and arrive here in
in write_die with die == A', ref == A, refd == D and refdt == D:
...
                  if (refdt->die_dup && refdt->die_op_type_referenced)
                    {
                      if (cu == die_cu (refdt->die_dup))
                        refd = die_find_dup (refdt, refdt->die_dup, refd);
                    }
                  else if (refdt->die_dup)
                    refd = die_find_dup (refdt, refdt->die_dup, refd);
...

The first if condition evaluates to true because D->die_dup == C' and
D->die_op_type_referenced == 1.

But the following (nested) if condition evalutes to false, because A' and C'
are not part of the same unit.

Consequently, refd remains D, and we get a reference from a die in a partial
unit (A') to a die in a compilation unit (D):
...
(A') --------d--------> (A) --d--> (B)
    \                    |          |
     +---------------+   r          r
                      \  |          |
                       v v          v
(C') --d--> (C) --d--> (D) ---d--> (E)
                        ^
                        |
                        pr
                        |
                       (Z)
...

The behaviour that is triggered is one that is valid for writing out A, but is
incorrect because in fact we're writing out A' using A as template.  Note that
this problem would not have occurred if the pseudo-reference pointed to E
instead, in which case we would have had the expected reference from A' to C'.

Fix this by detecting that we're writing out A' (in other words,
cu->cu_kind == CU_PU), and skipping the die_op_type_referenced
handling in that case, resulting in a reference from A' to C'.
