One shot mode for debuginfod server

One shot mode for debuginfod server

Hi,
Here is a patch for a new one-shot mode for the debuginfod server. In this
mode the first scanning pass of the server will also output the found
executables' paths and buildids to the given file descriptor. This can (and
soon will be used in systemtap) as an easy way to scan archive files and
quickly/easily extract information concerning the executables they contain.

The patch passes all of the tests across the try-buildbots (branch
users/rgoldber/try-one-shot)

Thanks,
Ryan (rgoldber)

I see how this could be useful, but wouldn't it be easier to have a
database query do this?
