iOS: Use DWARF instead of DWARF with dSYM for debug builds
Generating the dSYM file takes a long time due to our relatively large
static libraries, and is not really useful for a debug build where you
are likely to have the object files and Qt libraries available on your
host system for debugging anyways.
