perf build-ids: Fall back to debuginfod query if debuginfo not found

During a perf-record, use the -ldebuginfod API to query a debuginfod
server, should the debug data not be found in the usual system
locations.  If successful, the usual $HOME/.debug dir is populated.

Tested with:

  $ find .
  .
  ./ctags-debuginfo-5.8-26.fc31.x86_64.rpm
  ./usr
  ./usr/lib
  ./usr/lib/debug
  ./usr/lib/debug/.build-id
  ./usr/lib/debug/.build-id/ca
  ./usr/lib/debug/.build-id/ca/46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d
  ./usr/lib/debug/.build-id/ca/46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d.debug
  ./usr/lib/debug/usr
  ./usr/lib/debug/usr/bin
  ./usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ctags-5.8-26.fc31.x86_64.debug

  $ debuginfod  -F .
  ...

  $ rm -rf ~/.debug/ ; mkdir ~/.debug

  $ perf record make tags
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
    GEN      tags
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.107 MB perf.data (1483 samples) ]

  $ find ~/.debug | grep ctags
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags/ca46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d

  $ rm -rf ~/.debug/ ; mkdir ~/.debug

  $ DEBUGINFOD_URLS=http://localhost:8002

 perf record make tags
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
    GEN      tags
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.108 MB perf.data (1531 samples) ]

  $ find ~/.debug | grep ctag
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags/ca46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags/ca46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d/debug
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags/ca46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d/elf
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags/ca46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d/probes

Note the 'debug' file is created in the last run.

Note that currently the debuginfo data are downloaded only on record path,
we still need add this support to perf build-id/report.. and test ;-)
