I'll take a look at this and try to keep any additional debuginfod support
contained in objdump.

Despite using BFD, objdump and GDB implement their own procedures for finding
and loading separate debuginfo so tool-specific debuginfod clients were needed
in these cases. This doesn't mean that BFD should not also include debuginfod
support but until now there didn't appear to be much need for it.
