This patch stops gimple and rtl DSE from running by default at -Og. The idea is both to improve compile time and to stop us from deleting stores that we can't track in debug info.
We could rein this back in future for stores to local variables with is_gimple_reg_type, but at the moment we don't have any infrastructure for switching between binds to specific values and binds to evolving memory locations. Even then, location tracking only works for direct references to the variables, and doesn't for example help with printing dereferenced pointers (see the next patch in the series for an example). I'm also not sure that DSE is important enough for -Og to justify the compile time cost -- especially in the case of RTL DSE, which is pretty expensive. Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu. OK to install?
