Set debuginfo-level = "line-tables-only" for compiler profile
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This profile has only undergone minimal tweaks since it was originally
drafted. I asked a number of compiler contributors and they said they
set rust.debug explicitly. This was even true for one contributor that
set `rust.debug` = false! Almost everyone seems slightly surprised that
`rust.debug = true` is not the default.

However, adding full debuginfo at this level costs multiple gigabytes!
We can still get much better debuginfo by setting "line-tables-only"
at the cost of only 150~200 MB.
