document search for source files #482

Currently you can use --debugPaths and --extraLibPaths to add a path to the disassembler for source code search.

I don't know if we should use these paths or add new ones.

I'd vote for --sourcePaths because you commonly have the symbol files - which the old options can adjust post-recording - in the place that they had during recording, but the source is often kept separate from binaries/debug info and may not was in the place it had during recording (especially when recording with an external library where you get the matching source afterwards and have that local).

Solved with #497 and should be closed as fixed.
