build: add a 'release' target for an optimized, stripped binary

Browse source 
./build.sh release builds into build-release/ with --buildtype=release
and strips the binary in place (meson's strip only applies on install),
yielding a ~270KB binary for size benchmarking against distro
compositors like labwc.  The default ./build.sh debug path and the
build/ tree used by the test suite are untouched.
