Previously, it was possible to specify different debug formats for C/C++ and Swift code. In practice, binaries with both C/C++ and Swift code would end up only having one format over the other, depending on the exact project configuration. Since there is little value in having separate debug information format, this changes the build configuration to only have one debug format for both C/C++ and Swift code. This also changes the default debug format to codeview. This is because some of the toolchain binaries now exceed 4 GiB of dwarf debug information, resulting in a build failure.
