Reduce .so library binary size for gcc

[patkenneally]

• Tickets addressed: Compiler flags for debug symbols incorrectly configure #376
• Review: By commit
• Merge strategy: Merge (no squash)

Description

The -g flag is removed from the release build profile. -g adds debug symbols to .so binaries, which are not required/expected when building for release. Additionally, the -s flag is added to the release build profile to strip further redundant symbols.

Verification

Build proceeds and tests pass as expected. Further, a comparison can be made between the .so binary sizes before and after adding the -s flag.

Documentation

None new, none invalidated.

Future work

None

I tried digging through the GH Actions build log to find evidence of these flags but I found that CMakeLists.txt is not directly exposed in the build process.
