Last time this stuff came up, it turned out there are users who point
gdb at the file with debug symbols while debugging a stripped version on
the target. IIRC, at the time, build-id and separate debuginfo weren't
widely used, so this was the main way to do this kind of thing.

I don't know if this is still important. I've only run into trouble
with this behavior, so I welcome the new default at least.
