56a9b847bb build: set build type and per-build-type flags as early as possible (Cory Fields)
f605f7a9c2 build: refactor: set debug definitions in main CMakeLists (Cory Fields)
Pull request description:
This ensures that most compiler tests are not run with the wrong build type's flags. The initial c++ checks are an exception to that because many internal CMake variables are unset until a language is selected, so it's problematic to change our build type before that.
The difference can be seen in `build/CMakeFiles/CMakeConfigureLog.yaml`. Before, `Debug` was used for many of the earlly checks. After this PR, it's only the first 2 checks.
