IMPALA-12165: Add option for split debug information (-gsplit-dwarf)

This adds the IMPALA_SPLIT_DEBUG_INFO environment variable,
which controls whether the build uses -gsplit-dwarf. This option
puts debug information in a separate .dwo file for each C++
file. Executables contain metadata pointing to those .dwo files
and don't need to include the debug information themselves. This
reduces link time and disk space usage. The default for
IMPALA_SPLIT_DEBUG_INFO is off as this is intended to be an
opt-in option for developers.

For a debug build with compressed debug information,
it cuts disk space usage roughly in half:

Without backend tests (measuring "du -sh be"):
Regular: 5.6GB
Split debuginfo: 2.7GB
With backend tests:
Regular: 22GB
Split debuginfo: 12GB

This only works for the debug information from Impala itself.
The debug information from dependencies from the toolchain
are included in each executable.

Split debug information has been around for a long time,
so tools like GDB work. Resolving minidumps works properly.

Testing:
 - Ran builds locally (with GCC and Clang)
 - Attached to Impala with GDB and verified that symbols worked
 - Resolved a minidump and checked the output
