add indication of support for debugging in version info

Description 

when mapserver outputs its version string, it would be very useful to know
whether it has been built with debug support or not.  A simple DEBUG=ON|OFF
would suffice.  It should appear in all version strings from the cgi and
mapscript (and in the WMS/WFS server capabilities too?)

  • status changed from new to assigned 
We may needmore than just DEBUG=ON|OFF, there may be various debug options down
the road, so I'll try to keep room for that. 

What I'll add for now is DEBUG=MSDEBUG if MapServer was compiled with
-DENABLE_STDERR_DEBUG which enables the msDebug() function to send a bunch of
information to stderr.
