build: fix RelWithDebInfo optimization flags #31802

Problem:
RelWithDebInfo generates redundant flags:

    Compilation: /usr/bin/cc -O2 -g -Og -g

The `CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO` variable is being modified in a way
that caused duplicate `-Og` and `-g` flags to be added. The resulting
flags were `-O2 -g -Og -g`.

- `-Og` (Optimize for debugging) and `-O2` (Optimize for performance)
  are different optimization levels. We can't use both at once.
- The duplicate `-g` flag is redundant and no effect.

multiple -O flags has no effect for code, just redundant.

> If you use multiple -O options, with or without level numbers, the last such option is the one that is effective.

Solution:
Adjust the flags to use the more appropriate `-O2 -g`.

    Compilation: /usr/bin/cc -O2 -g

```
