scons: Separate debug flags from debug-format flags

Debug flags are flags that aid with debugging by printing
relevant information when enabled. Debug-formatting flags
define how the debug flags will print the information.

Although a viability, this patch does not support declaring
compound format flags.

As a side effect, now debug flags and debug-formatting flags
are printed in different lists, when using --debug-help.
