I'm not sure I like using DW_TAG_variable_pack to hold
DW_TAG_formal_parameter_ref DIEs, DWARF has always differentiated between
variables and formal parameters, even when in C++ a function parameter
is a variable too.
So, I'd keep the existing 250516.1 and just add DW_TAG_variable_pack which
would be used for both structured binding packs and lambda capture packs
(where in both cases there would be DW_TAG_variable DIEs inside of it).
