            Remove 'set/show build-id-verbose' setting from GDB

This commit removes the 'set/show build-id-verbose' setting.  Users
should instead use the 'set/show rpm-suggestion enabled' setting.

The build-id-verbose setting was an integer, but only 0 or 1 had
meaning, with 0 turning off rpm suggestions, and 1, the default,
turning on rpm suggestion.

The new 'rpm-suggestion enabled' setting is a boolean, the default is
'on' which provides rpm suggestions, while 'off' disables rpm
suggestions.

The old setting was undocumented.  The new setting has a manual entry,
so users can learn about it through 'info gdb' for example.

This change could potentially break existing user scripts, users will
need to update their scripts like this:

  'set build-id-verbose 0' becomes 'set rpm-suggestion enabled off'

and:

  'set build-id-verbose 1' becomes 'set rpm-suggestion enabled on'
