Issue DM-7010: Builds should be optimised by default
By default, our builds are not optimised ({{-O0}}), which requires everyone who doesn't want to wait until the heat death of the universe to set {{SCONSFLAGS="opt=3"}}, but other packages that are built with scons may not recognise this. This default is also contrary to the standard practise for open-source software, which is that by default builds are optimised. I will change the default optimisation level to {{opt=3}} from the current {{opt=0}}. I will also add support for {{-Og}}. This change was approved in RFC-202.
