--enable-debug default flags much less useful for introspection of variables #14830

#13005 changed the flags from O0 to Og when it can. For reasonable debugging experience I change this back, otherwise half the time I'm debugging something it's optimized out.

Would people be open to --enable-debug-slow or something that simply preferred O0?

I have the same issue when debugging with macOS 10.14 (LLVM). I'm for reverting #13005.

Get a better compiler? -Og is supposed to be useful for debugging...

@luke-jr if you have a list of "better compiler"s now is the time to share them
