cxxrtl: implement debug information outlining.
Aggressive wire localization and inlining is necessary for CXXRTL to achieve high performance. However, that comes with a cost: reduced debug information coverage. Previously, as a workaround, the `-Og` option could have been used to guarantee complete coverage, at a cost of a significant performance penalty. This commit introduces debug information outlining. The main eval() function is compiled with the user-specified optimization settings. In tandem, an auxiliary debug_eval() function, compiled from the same netlist, can be used to reconstruct the values of localized/inlined signals on demand. To the extent that it is possible, debug_eval() reuses the results of computations performed by eval(), only filling in the missing values. Benchmarking a representative design (Minerva SoC SRAM) shows that: * Switching from `-O4`/`-Og` to `-O6` reduces runtime by ~40%. * Switching from `-g1` to `-g2`, both used with `-O6`, increases compile time by ~25%. * Although `-g2` increases the resident size of generated modules, this has no effect on runtime. Because the impact of `-g2` is minimal and the benefits of having unconditional 100% debug information coverage (and the performance improvement as well) are major, this commit removes `-Og` and changes the defaults to `-O6 -g2`. We'll have our cake and eat it too!
