--release switch as a shortcut for -c Release

See original GitHub issue

Since most projects will only ever use the Release and Debug configurations, I suggest creating shortcut switches to avoid typing them out in full on the console:

--release shall be allowed everywhere -c Release is currently allowed. similarly, --debug can be a shorthand way of specifying -c Debug.

Benefits:

Faster to type
Completion support
Release configuration is commonly needed
Typo mistakes are easy to make, especially since casing differences can lead to confusing build errors on linux (-c Release vs -c release).

Does this seem reasonable? Any feedback?

Completion support

Note that -c does have completion support: if I type dotnet publish -c R<tab>, it completes to dotnet publish -c RELEASE.

Though it doesn’t understand custom configurations, DEBUG and RELEASE are hardcoded values.
