Description

The cmake default build type is a sort of "didn't bother with flags" build - it has neither debugging symbols nor optimization and so is not well suited to anything.

• Make the default one of the standard build types: Release, Debug, RelWithDebInfo and MinRel.
• Mention all the available build types in the INSTALL file.
• Mention the default build type in the initial cmake output.

Based on the discussion here: http://qpid.2158936.n2.nabble.com/How-to-test-the-performance-quid-c-broker-td7610614i20.html#a7611007 the majority opinion is to use RelWithDebInfo. It was not unanimous, but this is only the default so people can change it towhatever they like and the doc. will make that clear.
