Infinitime does not compile in Debug mode

Introduce the issue

When compiling InfiniTime with the buildType Debug using a devcontainer the compile fails because of the resulting size overflowing the available space.

[build] /opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/10.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: pinetime-app-1.11.0.out section `.text' will not fit in region `FLASH'
[build] /opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/10.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: region FLASH overflowed with .data and user data

Preferred solution

Ideally it should be possible to compile in Debug mode obviously, but if that is not possible removing it as an option (or at least not making it the default option) might prevent new contributers from being confused that the default compile fails.

[Avamander]

The default build type is Release. The release modes, Debug and Release, are documented in docs/buildAndProgram.md, including the part about not fitting in flash.

As there is no trivial way to make Debug builds fit the flash while also keeping all the parts that are relevant in that specific case, it's up to the person wanting to debug to choose what to leave out and to fine-tune the build to fit their needs.
