meson.build: default to -gsplit-dwarf for debug info
This option is supported by both gcc (since 4.7) and clang (since 7.0). Not only does this make the linkers job easier by reducing the amount of ELF it needs to parse it also reduces the total build size quite considerably. In my case a default build went from 5.8G to 3.9G (vs 1.9G for --disable-debug-info). The --disable-split-debug option allows distros to keep all the info together for ease of packaging.
