[PATCH] Use non-debug build for Xen 4.10

[PATCH] Use non-debug build for Xen 4.10

[Julien Grall]

Modify Config.mk and Kconfig.debug to disable debug by default in
preparation for late RCs and eventual release.

I would like this to get included before branching. So we can cut the RC
right after branching.

I think doing this before branching has proven a bad idea in the
past, due to Coverity seeing a sufficiently different set of issues
in both modes. I therefore think that turning off debug should
actually be part of branching (e.g. be the first commit on the new
stable branch).

If Coverity requires debug then the .config used for coverity should 
have CONFIG_DEBUG=y.

So, I find rather strange to have to delay that patch just because of 
Coverity.

That would be wrong on stable branches. Coverity works on either
build, but produces significantly different results for the two cases.
