Subject: [PATCH] Thinlto for validator builds. (#3516)

# Problem

- Current builds do not use thinlto and we are leaving performance on the table.

# Summary of Changes

- Enable thinlto, the debug-info can't be packed as it gives build error duplicate split compilation unit

# Performance improvements

Results

With thinlto and no debuginformation
