RFR: JDK-8036003: Add --with-debug-symbols=[none|internal|external|zipped]

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello,

I think this looks mostly OK, but I'm pretty sure Magnus will want to
comment. I'm afraid he likely won't be able to until next week however.

One thing, could you name the variable DEBUG_SYMBOLS, with the S at the
end so that it matches the configure option?
