RFC: objdump: Always load separate debug info files when disassemblying

Hi Guys,

  Attached is a patch to make objdump follow links to separate debug
  information files when it is disassembling.  The separate files may
  contain symbol tables that will help to improve the disassembler's
  output.

  The patch also removes the 'dump_any_debugging' static variable since
  it is no longer needed.  The function might_need_separate_debug_info()
  is sufficient to determine if there is a need to load the separate
  files.

  Any comments or suggestions for improvements ?

Cheers
  Nick
