Key points:
- It inherits from `dev`
  - Conceptually, debugging is part of the development process
  - The hope is this will smooth out the transition for people
- `cargo install --debug` now uses `debug` instead of `dev`
- `debug` changes nothing from `dev` right now.
  `dev` will evolve in the future
  (with `debug` overriding those values to leave it effectively unchanged)
  but that is deferred out to offer a transition period where `debug`
  can be used without but isn't required for debugging as people deal
  with multiple Rust versions. This also shrinks the change and
  decouples what the conversation around what the settings should be.
