perf: do FAT LTO and singular codegen-unit on release (#970)

Optimize release builds by building them in a special profile release-lto that:

- Enables FAT LTO
- Uses codegen-unit = 1

This is intended to improve the quality of parseable binary compiled at release, 
in terms of performance and size.

Fixes #224 .
