Add --separate-debug-symbols option similar to cargo deb #100

cargo deb has the --separate-debug-symbols option which causes the debug symbols of the binaries/libraries to be placed in separate files installed under /usr/lib/debug. Could something similar be added to cargo-generate-rpm as well?

And for extra brownie points, if it would also be possible (via another option) to split these debug symbols into a separate debuginfo package, so that users who are not interested in the debug symbols don't have to have them?

Currently no plan to introduce debug symbol handling. In addition, there is no subpackaging (creating foobar-devel package and foobar-debuginfo) support now.
