Use a DWARF version consistent with rustc

Rustc defaults to DWARF-2 on some targets, and DWARF-4 on others.
However using -g with the C compiler yields whatever default version the
C compiler prefers.

One side effect is that the DWARF debug info shipped in some libraries
with rustc itself (e.g. libcompiler_builtins and others) have recently
switched to DWARF-5 as a side effect of upgrading the clang version
used on rustc CI. (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/98746)

Ideally, the preferred DWARF version would be given by the rust compiler
and/or cargo, but that's not the case at the moment, so the next best
thing is something that aligns with the current defaults, although
work in under way to add a rustc flag that would allow to pick the
preferred DWARF version (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98350)
