[PATCH datacenter-manager 0/3] ui: reduce compilation time for relase builds

[Dominik Csapak <d.csapak@proxmox.com>]

By sacrificing some space savings:

All three patches save us some time during 'make build' (for per patch
improvements see the individual patches), but 2/3 and 3/3 sacrifice some
space savings.

Note that the numbers in the patches are measured against the baseline
and all three patches together seem to have an even larger effect:

They save us ~250s (-65%) but the file only gets bigger by 2.3 MiB
(+16%) uncompressed, and 420Kib (+10%) compressed.

Not sure if we want to trade binary size by compile time in this way,
but at least the first patch should be a no-brainer since it does not
change the binary size at all.

Aside from these flags, there aren't that many knobs we have in the code
itself to reduce compile time, aside from removing dependencies and
keeping the whole project smaller.

Maybe splitting the pve-api-types into smaller chunks could help (we
only use a small fraction of it in the ui) or replacing some bigger
crates with smaller ones just for the gui (or replacing with browser
native code where possible, maybe base64 and such things?)

Dominik Csapak (3):
  ui: d/rules: don't generate debuginfo for the UI
  ui: d/rules: use thin instead of fat LTO
  ui: d/rules: don't limit compilation to 1 codgen-unit
