fix: stop emitting `.debug_pubnames` and `.debug_pubtypes`

`.debug_pubnames` and `.debug_pubtypes` are poorly designed and people
seldom use them. However, they take a considerable portion of size in
the final binary. This tells LLVM stop emitting those sections on
DWARFv4 or lower. DWARFv5 use `.debug_names` which is more concise
in size and performant for name lookup.
