DWARF 5 standardized the .gnu_debugaltlink section that dwz emits in
multi-file mode. This is handled via some new forms, and a new
.debug_sup section.
This patch adds support for this to gdb. It is largely
straightforward, I think, though one oddity is that I chose not to
have this code search the system build-id directories for the
supplementary file. My feeling was that, while it makes sense for a
distro to unify the build-id concept with the hash stored in the
.debug_sup section, there's no intrinsic need to do so.
This in turn means that a few tests -- for example those that test the
index cache -- will not work in this mode.

Hi Tom,
I tested this on aarch64, Fedora 40 and this change causes gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.exp
to fail. I can provide you with the logs if you are interested.
