export multiple profiles as multiple build configurations

[bmcdonnell-ionx]

Description

Can we add the ability to export multiple build profiles as multiple build configurations in a single IDE project.

Background:

Inspired by C++11 in exported projects.

In source control for my projects, I'm currently keeping just the files needed so that a developer can check out, and either build or export with mbed-cli. This is in keeping with the convention of publicly-available sample programs.

mbed export apparently creates multiple build configurations - one each for Debug and Release - at least it does for MCUXpresso. (mbed export -m LPC4088 -i mcuxpresso.) But AFAIK, there is no way to both customize build flags (e.g. -std=gnu++11), and have more than one build configurations in the exported project.

@bmcdonnell-ionx I have no plans to implement multiple profile support at this time.

Issue header has missing or incorrectly filled in fields! Please fix.

@adbridge, what does that mean?

@bmcdonnell-ionx We have recently added an issue pro-forma which requires a checkbox selection stating the type of issue, to be filled in. There is also a new automated script which checks this which has just been enabled. It looks like mbed-cli does not have that proforma currently and this issue was raised prior to that coming in. I will fix it :)
