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/.

* Binutils now supports debuginfod, an HTTP server for distributing
ELF/DWARF debugging information as well as source code. When built with
debuginfod, readelf and objdump can automatically query debuginfod
servers for separate debug files when they otherwise cannot be found.
To build binutils with debuginfod, pass --with-debuginfod to configure.
This requires libdebuginfod, the debuginfod client library. debuginfod
is distributed with elfutils, starting with version 0.178. For more
information see https://sourceware.org/elfutils.
* Add --output option to the "ar" program. This option can be used to specify
the output directory when extracting members from an archive.
