For prev_real_insn I think you're right, the remaining two uses also do want
to skip debug insns. For next_real_insn I'm not that sure, it is used e.g.
in the scheduler where we want to see debug insns.
Having prev_real_insn skip debug insns and next_real_insn not skip them
would be inconsistent though.
