Add debuginfod support to GDB

debuginfod is a lightweight web service that indexes ELF/DWARF debugging
resources by build-id and serves them over HTTP.

This patch enables GDB to query debuginfod servers for separate debug
files and source code when it is otherwise not able to find them.

GDB can be built with debuginfod using the --with-debuginfod configure
option.

This requires that libdebuginfod be installed and found at configure time.

debuginfod is packaged with elfutils, starting with version 0.178.

For more information see https://sourceware.org/elfutils/.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 31.
