We use a prebuilt toolchain which has all debug symbols start out
looking like

/opt/windriver/wrlinux/ia32/i686-wrs-linux-gnu/src/...

and we'd rather not start populating /opt on targets when we have all
this lovely logic for debug sources.  This patch provides a generic
hook for overriding the starting path that debugedit will replace with
the canonical debugsrc path.  This strikes me as a pretty low-impact
alternative to, say, encouraging such recipes to call debugedit
directly.

I am open to the idea of allowing a replacement to be specified,
too, but I didn't need that and don't immediately see why it'd matter.

And since I switch between scripting languages really often, and
this is a source of confusion:  Yes, in Python, ("" or x) yields x.
