Hi,

this is the second version of my patch series that modifies one of our
CI jobs to compile with `-Og`. We have noticed that it may surface more
warnings that we do not see with `-O2`, so this should help to find more
bugs up front.

Changes compared to v1:

  - Instead of adapting the "pedantic" job, we now adapt
    "linux-gcc-default" to compile with `-Og`. This is because that job
    uses ubuntu:latest and thus a recent compiler, and there are other
    jobs with ubuntu:latest that continue to compile with `-O2`. So this
    is a strict improvement of coverage for diagnostics.

  - Add a way to override the optimization level to our Makefile, as
    suggested by Peff.
