CMake: Use -O2 instead of -O3 in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release.
-O3 doesn't seem useful for speed but it makes the code bigger.
CMake makes is difficult for users to simply override the
optimization level: CFLAGS / CMAKE_C_FLAGS aren't helpful because
they go before CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE. Of course, users can override
CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE directly but then they have to remember to
add also -DNDEBUG to disable assertions.
This commit changes -O3 to -O2 in CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE if and only if
CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE cache variable doesn't already exist. So if
a custom value is passed on the command line (or reconfiguring an
already-configured build), the cache variable won't be modified.
