Use the -gz option to compress ELF sections containing DWARF information.
This saves around 50% of disk space, without any side effects.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-9.2.0/gcc/Debugging-Options.html#Debugging-Options
for more infomation on this option.
Some platforms have an outdated toolchain that does not support -gz so
the flag is blacklisted there. Even then, the results are quite impressive.
I used @cladmi's `buildtest` branch (https://github.com/cladmi/RIOT/tree/wip/du/buildtest)
with this change and compiled the `examples/default` application:
```
$ BUILD_IN_DOCKER=1 DOCKER="sudo docker" make -C examples/default buildtest-indocker
```
The size was obtained with:
```
$ find output -name "*.bin.bindirsize" -type f -exec tail -n1 '{}' \; | cut -f 1 | awk '{s+=$1} END {printf "%.0f", s}'
```
Results:
- Vanilla: 10328112 KB (~10GB).
- with -gz: 4982788 KB (~5GB).
This was inspired by #8496.
Update the optional flags to use 'OPTIONAL_CFLAGS' instead of evaluating
everytime.
They are now blacklisted by architecture/toolchain according to the
current docker reference image.
Handle declaring OPTIONAL_CFLAGS and blacklisting them with
OPTIONAL_CFLAGS_BLACKLIST.
This should replace checking everytime if options are supported.
The excluded patterns can always be defined as they only set `CFLAGS` that
should not be passed to `CXX`.
This prepares for replacing the cflags support detection by a function.
