Enable debug info about compression scan paths

Browse Source 
We enabled scans using indexes for a chunk that is to be compressed.
The theory was that avoding tuplesort will be a win if there's a
matching index to the compression settings. However, a few customers
have reported very slow compress timings with lots of disk usage. It's
important to know which scan is being used for the compression in such
cases to help debug the issue. There's an existing GUC parameter which
was "DEBUG" only till now. Make it available in release builds as well.
