Integration with debuginfod: client side

[fche]

We can teach abrtd to look for debuginfo not just in the downloaded database and not just in /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/, but also try contacting a debuginfod server. The latter would not require any abrt-side tracking or cleanup.

One bit of new code this would require is a thin python binding to the -ldebuginfod client library (3 or 4 simple functions). Would y'all be receptive to a simple ctypes FFI within your codebase?

Alternately, your code could call out to /usr/bin/debuginfod-find {debuginfo,executable,source} $BUILDID [/SRC/FILENAME] and skip the ctypes business.

Please note that the Fedora debuginfod servers are now online. It may be that you can jettison your entire RPM downloading / indexing efforts, and just use

export DEBUGINFOD_URLS=https://debuginfod.fedoraproject.org/

in the fedora abrt servers, and let gdb download things on the fly for itself.

Thanks for the great news! We'll be looking into how debuginfod can help us and how we may be able to integrate it in the coming month or so.
