utils.zsh: Enable debug symbols for ObjC#313

Conversation
To force CMake-based projects to emit debug symbols even in release configuration, the -g argument needs to be explicitly added to the global CMAKE_<LANGUAGE>_FLAGS_RELEASE variable. This was done for C and C++ already, but not for ObjC and ObjC++ (which are correctly treated as separate languages by CMake). This is required to make Qt plugins like the cocoa platform plugin "debuggable" with dSYM files loaded into a debugger.

Description
Adds necessary compiler arguments to emit debug symbols in release builds for ObjC and ObjC++.
Motivation and Context
To force CMake-based projects to emit debug symbols even in release configuration, the
-gargument needs to be explicitly added to the globalCMAKE_<LANGUAGE>_FLAGS_RELEASEvariable.This was done for C and C++ already, but not for ObjC and ObjC++ (which are correctly treated as separate languages by CMake). This is required to make Qt plugins like the cocoa platform plugin "debuggable" with dSYM files loaded into a debugger.
How Has This Been Tested?
Built Qt locally and confirmed that functions called within the Cocoa platform plugin were correctly debuggable with source code available on the local machine.
