    Make the default build type "Debug" when compiling a git checkout. · a212a921

    Summary:
    The idea comes from
    https://blog.kitware.com/cmake-and-the-default-build-type/
    but I adapted it to leave it empty for tarballs, to avoid messing up
    distribution packaging.
    
    The goal is to make this more sensible for [new] developers who just
    run cmake and end up with a "no debug symbols, no optimizations" build,
    i.e. the one and only completely useless combination of those two flags.
    
    Possible risk: distributions who compile from git checkouts...
    
    Test Plan: "mkdir build ; cd build ; cmake .." in kblog leads to CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
