Summary Use release builds with assertions on bots instead of debug builds

During the session at the WebKit meeting on reducing test failures, the idea was proposed (I think by Adam Roben) of building Release mode on bots with assertions enabled, rather than running Debug builds. It seems that the lack of compiler optimizations, rather than the presence of assertion failures, is the main reason test runs using Debug builds are so much slower than those on Release builds. Testing Release mode with assertions enabled would improve test coverage with basically no performance impact.
