## Message

```
build system: implement --release[=mode]

This allows a `zig build` command to specify intention to create a
release build, regardless of what per-project options exist. It also
allows the command to specify a "preferred optimization mode", which is
chosen if the project itself does not choose one (in other words, the
project gets first choice). If neither the build command nor the project
specify a preferred release mode, an error occurs.

```
