Bug Description

With the new Ubuntu debuginfod service (https://debuginfod.ubuntu.com), and with the prospect of having the system automatically fetch debuginfo from the internet without user intervention, it is necessary to adjust apport to cope with this scenario.

I had a conversation with bdmurray and he was concerned that having a debuginfod-enabled GDB generate the corefiles that are eventually submitted to Ubuntu can be a problem.

My proposed solution is to disable GDB's debuginfod support when collecting the corefile. This should keep things as is and not disturb the retrace service.
