gdb: add 'lazy' setting for command 'set debuginfod enabled'

'set debuginfod enabled lazy' turns on debuginfod downloading like
'set debuginfod enabled on' but also enables ELF/DWARFs section
downloading via debuginfod_section_query.

If support for debuginfod section queries was not found at configure
time, 'set debuginfod enabled lazy' will print an error message
indicating the missing support and default to 'set debuginfod enabled on'.

Also update the help text and gdb.texinfo section for 'set debuginfod enabled'
with information on the lazy setting.
