This patch appends some gcc options to CFLAGS when building the default image in order to improve the debugging experience on GDB. We use the '-ggdb' option which produces debugging information used by GDB (including GDB extensions) with level 3 which includes preprocessor macros information. We also use '-Og' which enables optimizations that do not interfere with debugging. According to gcc manpage, it should be the optimization level of choice for the standard edit-compile-debug cycle, offering a reasonable level of optimization while maintaining fast compilation and a good debugging experience. Also, this patch removes the '-g' option from the default CFLAGS because there is no point in using it when BUILD_RELEASE=1. As expected, the overall ELF image increases (due to -ggdb3 option) while the .text section is reduced (due to -Og). For the sake of comparison, below follows the output of 'size'.
