fix(build): use DWARF 4 when building debug 

GCC 11 and Clang 14 now use the DWARF 5 standard by default however
Arm-DS currently only supports up to version 4. Therefore, for debug
builds, ensure the DWARF 4 standard is used.
Also update references for Arm DS-5 to it's successor Arm-DS (Arm
Development Studio).

AArch64 GCC uses DWARF version 4 debugging symbols by default. Some tools (for
example DS-5) might not support this and may need an older version of DWARF
symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the
``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2 or 3. Setting the
version to 2 is recommended for DS-5 versions older than 5.16.
