[Bug 2100624] [NEW] python3 -m sysconfig showing the wrong optimization flag

[Marcos Alano]

Public bug reported:

If I execute `python3 -m sysconfig`, I can see all the options related to how Python was compiled.
The problem is: Python now is compiled with '-O3' flag by default on upstream and also downstream, but for some reason the previously mentioned command shows '-O2'. It's because a line in d/rules that does the replacement, but I don't think we still need it since '-O3' is the default behavior. Keeping '-O2' instead of the real '-O2' is masking the real value, making the sysconfig module less trustworthy.

** Affects: python3.12 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
