Ideally, we'd always build separate debug info with Debug builds if the
toolchain supports it. So, no need for a separate option, I think.

On MSVC, separate debug info is already the default, so we should do
nothing there.

The GNU toolchain also has build IDs, which allows keeping multiple
versions of debug information, and


https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32861480/cmake-save-stripped-debug-information

has a nice fragment for that, although the build ID needs to be
generated somewhere (and distros need a way to pass them in for
reproducible builds). The ID would be accessible from the About dialog
as well so you know which debug package to download.
