[Maintenance] builddefs: common_rules: overhaul debug information generation (#24352)

builddefs: common_rules: overhaul debug information generation

Debug information is always generated while compiling a binary, but
debugging is not the main use-case for the majority of users. Thus the
new default is to explicitly require them with `DEBUG_ENABLE=yes`. The
same is true for linker map files which are gated by the same flag.

As we target the gcc compiler and debug with the gdb debugger we can
specify the ggdb3 flag in the most verbose to get macro expansion.

Windows builds of QMK Firmware are generally compiled using QMK MSYS, and the path to gdb's location (`C:\\QMK_MSYS\\mingw64\\bin`) needs to be specified under `armToolchainPath` for it to be detected. You may also need to change the GDB path to point at `C:\\QMK_MSYS\\mingw64\\bin\\gdb-multiarch.exe` in the VSCode Cortex-Debug user settings: ![VSCode Settings](https://i.imgur.com/EGrPM1L.png)

Optionally, the following modifications should also be made to the keyboard's `rules.mk` file to disable optimisations -- not strictly required but will ensure breakpoints and variable viewing works correctly:
The following modifications must be made to the keyboard's `rules.mk` file to enable debug information and disable optimisations -- this will ensure breakpoints and variable viewing works correctly:
```makefile
# Enable debug information in the final binaries
DEBUG_ENABLE = yes
# Disable optimisations for debugging purposes
LTO_ENABLE = no
OPT = g
DEBUG = 3
```
At this point, you should build and flash your firmware through normal methods (`qmk compile ...` and `qmk flash ...`).
