[Bug symtab/11300] New: Make the "build ID" method of having separate debug info consider more locations

[andre dot poenitz at nokia dot com]

For the "build ID" method of having separate debug info, is
${debug-file-directory}/.build-id/ab/cdef1234.debug is the only location where
the debug info is searched for. Even with the possibility to have several
locations in 
debug-file-directory this is difficult to handle as one needs to know in advance
(a superset of) the set of shared objects that will be loaded.

It would be nice if the build ID method would take the same locations as the
debug-link based variant (which does not scale well to large files due to the
crc computation).
