Add a new magic property: build.compiler.debugofflevel
which when set will be used instead of ":none" when debug not specified or
defined as false.

Did he say magic property? uh oh...

(Mail shield up)

Magic properties have been fairly unpopular. They generally obfuscate behavior, and clutter up the namespace available for properties. In this case it would put critical information (critical for some at least) about what javac is really doing in an obscure location away from the invocation of the javac task.

Besides this I am not sure why setting a property would be better than setting the flag in javac. The point under discussion is should the _default_behavior_ change. There isn't really any need for a new way to customize the behavior of javac globally is there?
