Add support for debuginfod to the binutils (disable by default, enabled via a configure time option).

debuginfod is a lightweight web service that indexes ELF/DWARF
debugging resources by build-id and serves them over HTTP. This patch
enables objdump and readelf to query debuginfod servers when they are
otherwise not able to find separate debug files. Binutils 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/.
