build system refactoring

- unify the "build-..." targets
- enable a debug build by default, to simplify development
- bump vendor/DOtherSide
- avoid DOtherSide checks for docs/tests-specific tools like Doxygen
- switch to an in-place build for DOtherSide
- silence the DOtherSide build when V=0, make it more verbose with V=1
- don't delete checked out submodules in the "clean" target
- update build instructions in the README
- centralise Nim compiler options in a top-level "config.nims" (except
  `-d:debug` which needs to be on the command line)

## Cold Reload

### "Cold" reload using VSCode
We can setup a "cold" reload, whereby the app will be rebuilt and restarted when changes in the source are saved. This will not save state, as the app will be restarted, but it will save us some time from manually restarting the app. We can handily force an app rebuild/relaunch with the shortcut `Cmd+Shift+b` (execute the default build task, which we'll setup below).
