stripping changes

see the discussion at OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv#4661

@MilhouseVH is this ok with you?

[MilhouseVH]

If it's the same as #4661 then my comments remain the same - my only concern is that it appears to bloat addons, not sure if this is intentional or can be improved upon? Otherwise I'm totally OK with this, thanks.

Good to go 👍 we can figure out stripping add-ons as we go

[stefansaraev]

I would not call that bloat. it will make debugging in binary addons much, much easier including line numbers and so on. whatever you dont want to have debug syms shipped - just do

debug_strip $ADDON_BUILD/$PKG_ADDON_ID/ 

at the end of addon(). would work for any OE addon.

EDIT: you should probably keep kodi binary addons unstripped, but strip everything else (official and unofficial repos). however, for most trivial addons shipped in repo, size does not matter.

[MilhouseVH]

True, it's only adds a few MBs to the addons (although relatively speaking it can result in some add-ons increasing by 50% in size). However if it proves useful then it shouldn't be an issue, and nobody has complained so far (well, apart from me - maybe consider it more of an observation than complaint!)
