I am not a big fan of having a specialized name `separate-debug-info` to dump external debug info. Ideally, I would like a single/centralized command for end users to see check symbols/debug info status for a target including all possible situations.

How about we rename this as a more generic command name (like `target module dump syminfo` or `target symbols dump`) which can be extended to include more than dwo/N_OSO scenarios:

- Status of dwo structures (like this)
- External dSYM files and .debuginfo files status (missing or not)
- Embedded symbol status: like symbol table only, debug info + symbol table, debug info only + symbol table stripped.
- dwp files

The benefit is that this provides a central command to dump all symbol file status instead of several commands to gather info. 

I do not think the above should be included in this patch but at least the command name opens the possibility for extension in future. 

Another option is treating `image list` to be the central command mentioned above. And adding new options for `image list` to include dwo/N_OSO, external/embedded symbol/debuginfo status etc... I believe most Windows debuggers (like windbg) use this approach.

What do you guys think?
