ReleaseFast without debug symbols. Existing behaviour, will be used to cut releases.
ReleaseSafe with debug symbols. New behaviour, will be used for "new nightlies". Seeziglang/zig#15194

This script intends to be as prescriptive as possible, so we specifically avoid other valid combinations (e.g.ReleaseSmall). Therefore no such things like unvalidated "extra args" for zig.

If you want to add a new build mode and feel like a wide population would benefit from it, submit a new issue and let's talk.

Example invocation:

$ ./build x86_64-linux-gnu.2.28 baseline ReleaseSafeDbgSymBuild configuration:Version:       0.11.0-dev.2680+a1aa55ebeTarget:        x86_64-linux-gnu.2.28MCPU:          baselineOptimize:      ReleaseSafeDebug symbols: Yes<... build output ...>

We currently have 2 "popular" kinds of release modes:- `ReleaseFast` without debug symbols. Existing behaviour, will be used  to cut releases.- `ReleaseSafe` with debug symbols. New behaviour, will be used for  "new nightlies".

Since I like compressing things and comparing see how well they do it:

$ ls --block-size=K -1sS *.tar.xz | tac36404K zig-x86_64-linux-musl-baseline-min.tar.xz40932K zig-x86_64-linux-musl-baseline.tar.xz53520K zig-x86_64-linux-musl-baseline-dbg.tar.xz

The first one isReleaseSmall, dependencies compiled with-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel. The baseline is what we have today (ReleaseFast+strip) and the last one isReleaseSafe + debug symbols.
