Add build warning for non-debug desktop builds (#38932)
When building in profile or release mode on desktop, add a prominent
warning that it's actually a debug build. This is to help address issues
with people being unaware of the current state of builds due to
following third-party guides rather than official documentation.
macOS is not included since PRs are in flight for macOS release support.
