perf build: Warn when libdebuginfod devel files are not available

While working on 'perf version --build-options' I noticed that:

  $ perf version --build-options
  perf version 6.15.rc1.g312a07a00d31
                   aio: [ on  ]  # HAVE_AIO_SUPPORT
                   bpf: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
         bpf_skeletons: [ on  ]  # HAVE_BPF_SKEL
            debuginfod: [ OFF ]  # HAVE_DEBUGINFOD_SUPPORT
  <SNIP>

And looking at tools/perf/Makefile.config I also noticed that it is not
opt-in, meaning we will attempt to build with it in all normal cases.

So add the usual warning at build time to let the user know that
something recommended is missing, now we see:

  Makefile.config:563: No elfutils/debuginfod.h found, no debuginfo server support, please install elfutils-debuginfod-client-devel or equivalent

And after following the recommendation:

  $ perf check feature debuginfod
            debuginfod: [ on  ]  # HAVE_DEBUGINFOD_SUPPORT
  $ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep debuginfo
	libdebuginfod.so.1 => /lib64/libdebuginfod.so.1 (0x00007fee5cf5f000)
  $

With this feature on several perf tools will fetch what is needed and
not require all the contents of the debuginfo packages, for instance:

  # rpm -qa | grep kernel-debuginfo
  # pahole --running_kernel_vmlinux
  pahole: couldn't find a vmlinux that matches the running kernel
  HINT: Maybe you're inside a container or missing a debuginfo package?
