Enable debug symbols for all libraries

    Description

      For historical reasons, the FDS (Full Debug Symbols) project only enabled debug symbols for a few select libraries, since this was difficult to achieve in the old build. Also, the FDS project never enabled debug symbols for macosx on the JDK libraries.

      With the new build system, debug symbols come free, and we actually have to do extra work to keep them out. :-&

      We should just stop doing that. It hurts no-one to have proper debug information for all libraries, it might come in helpful, and just doing it everywhere would simplify build logic.
