Kernel: Build with -O2 by default
We used to build with -Os in order to fit within a certain size, but
there isn't really a good reason for that kind of restriction.
Switching to -O2 yields a significant improvement in throughput,
for example `test-js` is roughly 20% faster on my machine. :^)

This should not be set normally, as it clutters the console output and makes the system run very slowly. Instead, enable only the needed debug macros, as described below. - `ENABLE_ALL_DEBUG_FACILITIES`: used for checking whether debug code compiles on CI.
