zhikunyao 73e495d7d5 fix: keep installed C++ debug info self-contained (#53214)
## What this fixes

Linux builds currently enable split DWARF by default, but Milvus
installation and published debug images do not include the generated
`.dwo` files. The installed ELF files therefore contain dangling DWO
references and GDB cannot load the expected debug information.

## Changes

- make split DWARF an explicit CMake opt-in, defaulting to OFF
- expose `USE_SPLIT_DWARF=ON` through `scripts/core_build.sh` for
build-only workflows that preserve `.dwo` files
- keep the existing release image, tag, multi-arch manifest, and strip
pipeline unchanged

With the default build, debug information remains self-contained in the
installed ELF files. The existing release pipeline can continue
publishing the unstripped build as `-debug` and stripping the same build
for the regular image without copying sidecar debug files into
production images.

## Release impact

- regular stripped images should retain their current layout and strip
behavior
- debug images can grow because debug sections are embedded instead of
being left behind in the build tree
- Release builds still use the existing `-g1`; changing the debug level
or publishing `.dwp` artifacts is intentionally out of scope
- the first C++ build after this flag change may have lower cache reuse

## Validation

- `bash -n scripts/core_build.sh`
- parsed `DefineOptions.cmake` with CMake
- verified `MILVUS_USE_SPLIT_DWARF` defaults to OFF and accepts explicit
ON
- `git diff --check`

Supersedes #53188, which was recreated from the contributor fork to
follow the repository contribution workflow.

Fixes #53182

# Debug a coredump produced by the stripped (production) Milvus image
# using the matching unstripped debug image.
#
# Starting from v2.6.15, each Milvus release publishes two image variants:
# milvusdb/milvus:<tag> - stripped, production (default, ~1/3 size)
# milvusdb/milvus:<tag>-debug - unstripped, self-contained debug info (for GDB)
#
# The stripped and debug images share byte-identical code sections, so GDB
# can use the debug image's symbols to resolve addresses in a coredump
# produced by the stripped image.
#
# Usage:
# ./milvus-debug.sh <coredump> <stripped-image> <debug-image>
#
# Examples:
# ./milvus-debug.sh ./core.12345 milvusdb/milvus:v2.6.15 milvusdb/milvus:v2.6.15-debug
# ./milvus-debug.sh ./core.12345 harbor.example.com/milvus:v2.6.15 harbor.example.com/milvus:v2.6.15-debug
#
# Typical workflow when a Milvus pod crashes in production:
# # 1. Copy the coredump out of the crashed pod
# kubectl cp <ns>/<pod>:/tmp/cores/core.<pid> ./core.<pid>
#
# # 2. Run this script (GDB starts automatically with backtrace)
# ./milvus-debug.sh ./core.<pid> milvusdb/milvus:v2.6.15 milvusdb/milvus:v2.6.15-debug
