The main difference between `/O1` and `/O2`, besides speed vs. size, is that the latter adds `/Oi` which tells the compiler to try and inline intrinsics rather than making function calls. This can lead to improved speed. GCC/Clang do the same thing by treating certain functions like memcpy/memset/memmove and special.

Additionally I added `/Oy-` which preserves frame pointers. This makes MSVC match the GCC/Clang configuration with pass `-fno-omit-frame-pointer`.

Additionally we have disabled RTTI now by passing `/GR-`, this again matches GCC/Clang. The resulting size of the JVM binary drops by ~1MB.
