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).
