man debuginfod-client-config.7: Elaborate $DEBUGINFOD_URLS
Add reference to /etc/profile.d and /etc/debuginfod/*.urls as possible source of default. (No need to autoconf @prefix@ it, these paths are customarily distro standard rather than elfutils configurables.) Drop warning about federation loops, due to protection via PR27917 (0.186).

This environment variable contains a list of URL prefixes for trusted
debuginfod instances. Alternate URL prefixes are separated by space.
