Now that we have a built-in stacktrace on a segfault it would be useful
to have debug information on debug_release builds so that bugreports can
include this information. Without this debug info we will still get
function names in the backtrace but not file location.
This commit will by default build all targets with minimal debug info
and then strip the information into separate files. On MacOS this is a
.dSYM file, on Linux/MingW this is a .debug file. MacOSX will
automatically load a dSYM file if it exists in its debugger. On
Linux/MingW we create a 'gnu debuglink' meaning that gdb and friends
will automatically find the debug symbols if they exist.
Existing workflow for developers does not change at all, except that we
now create two instead of one build artifact by default.
This commit also adds a 'debug_symbols' option to X11, MacOS, and MingW
targets. The default is 'yes' which corresponds to -g1. The alternatives
are 'no' (don't generate debug infos at all) or 'full' which runs with
-g2. A target=debug build will now build with -g3.
Done:
- X11, server (tested)
- Windows (developed, would be nice to retest)
- OSX (not tested)
Prepared (not developed):
- Android (code is here, but may not compile)
- iphone
- winrt
- bb10
- haiku
- javascript

Build System:
-Big clean up of SCons, changed how builds are done to a much cleaner method (check the Github Wiki for instructions).
-Deactivated BlackBerry10 (sorry), if no mantainer found (or BlackBerry does not send us a Passort ;), platform will be removed as we have no longer devices to test.
Engine:
-Removed deprecated object and scene format (was in there just for compatibility, not in use since a long time).
-Added ability to open scenes even if a node type was removed (will try to guess the closest type).
-Removed deprecated node types.
