Using an ENV variable seems like the best way to toggle between build strategies from what I can tell. I am not sure if there's some config Rake compiler has where we can pass an arg when calling ruby extconf.rb.

When building a Rust library, the command
cargo build --releasecan be used to build an optimized version of the library. This however comes at a performance cost during compilation time. During development, these bits of time will add up significantly.This PR enables the Ruby build script to call
cargo buildwithout the release flag. This will generate a dev build for the Rust lib whenever possible, saving us some time when developing.
