build: add --disable-optimizations option

We are in a state where redrawing the console can take a significant
amount of time on slower machines. Therefore, we definitely need gcc code
optimizations which help here a _lot_. However, they are currently bundled
to the debug flags.

This splits this into two options. We still need this flag to get getter
backtraces. Otherwise, those inlined functions are horrible to track done.
