Revert of Repurpose Release_Developer BUILDTYPE and remove SK_DEVELOPER. (patchset #2 id:20001 of https://codereview.chromium.org/1927583002/ )
Reason for revert: still blocking DEPS roll Original issue's description: > Repurpose Release_Developer BUILDTYPE and remove SK_DEVELOPER. > > The Release_Developer build type is now used to build Skia with > release level optimizations but still enable SK_DEBUG. This in turn > means that SkASSERTS and SkRTConf are available in this mode. > > Further we can then remove SK_DEVELOPER as a define as it is true > iff SK_DEBUG is true. > GOLD_TRYBOT_URL= https://gold.skia.org/search2?unt=true&query=source_type%3Dgm&master=false&issue=1927583002 > DOCS_PREVIEW= https://skia.org/?cl=1927583002 > > Committed: https://skia.googlesource.com/skia/+/48d6f88479e72efaf9b9d8f9c0769acb1ba773db TBR=bungeman@gmail.com,bungeman@google.com,benjaminwagner@google.com,djsollen@google.com # Skipping CQ checks because original CL landed less than 1 days ago.

## Are these things enabled all the time?
-No, they are only enabled in builds where SK_DEBUG is defined. This includes both

+In `Debug` builds, yes. `Release` builds disable runtime configuration by
