mk: Don't build jemalloc with -g3 #14237

By default, jemalloc is building itself with -g3 if the local compiler supports
it. It looks like this is generating a good deal of debug info that windows
isn't optimizing out (on the order of 18MB). Windows gcc/ld is also not
optimizing this data away, causing hello world to be 18MB in size.

There's no current real need for debugging jemalloc to a great extent, so this
commit manually passes -g1 to override -g3 which jemalloc is using. This is
confirmed to drop the size of executables on windows back to a more reasonable
size (2.0MB, as they were before).

Closes #14144
