Thanks, see below.

I tried to move the libdebuginfod feature test out of
FEATURE_TEST_BASIC but couldn't get it going elsewhere
in perf/Makefile.config, so it's back here for v2:

    perf build-ids: fall back to debuginfod query if debuginfo not found
    
    During a perf-record, use the -ldebuginfod API to query a debuginfod
    server, should the debug data not be found in the usual system
    locations.  If successful, the usual $HOME/.debug dir is populated.
    
    v2: use #ifdef HAVE_DEBUGINFOD_SUPPORT guards
        include feature test source file
