Don't force-enable frame pointers when generating debug info

We apparently used to generate bad/incomplete debug info causing
debuggers not to find symbols of stack allocated variables. This was
somehow worked around by having frame pointers.

With the current codegen, this seems no longer necessary, so we can
remove the code that force-enables frame pointers whenever debug info
is requested.

Since certain situations, like profiling code profit from having frame
pointers, we add a -Cforce-frame-pointers flag to always enable frame
pointers.

Fixes rust-lang#11906
