On NetBSD, directory /usr/libdata/debug would be also searched. On platforms other than NetBSD directory /usr/lib/debug would be also searched. If all other methods fail there may be symbol-locator plugins that, if configured properly, will also attempt to acquire symbols. The debuginfod plugin defaults to the DEGUFINFOD_URLS environment variable which is configurable through the 'plugin.symbol-locator.debuginfod.server_urls' setting.">;

I was on the fence, as I've been encouraging users to use  `settings set symbols.enable-background-lookup true` in their `.lldbinit` (because older versions don't know about the setting either). On the other hand it's very little work to keep the old setting working, so why not. I've pushed a commit that makes the old setting an alias.
