0b003e1ff7 docs: Updated debug build instructions for cmake (ion-)

Pull request description:

  In the [developer notes](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/developer-notes.md) the section on [compiling for debug](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/developer-notes.md#compiling-for-debugging) displays outdated instructions that were applicable before the move to cmake build system.

  This PR just gives instructions on how to build for debugging in the context of cmake.

### Compiling for debugging
Run configure with `--enable-debug` to add additional compiler flags that
produce better debugging builds.
When using the default build configuration by running `cmake -B build`, the
`-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` is set to `RelWithDebInfo`. This option adds debug symbols
but also performs some compiler optimizations that may make debugging trickier
as the code may not correspond directly to the source.
If you need to build exclusively for debugging, set the `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`
to `Debug` (i.e. `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug`). You can always check the cmake
build options of an existing build with `ccmake build`.
