Do not build test only code and unit tests in Release builds

  Test code errors are currently blocking Windows Release builew
  We do not want spend time building in Release what we can not run
  We want to eliminate a source of most frequent errors when people
  check-in test only code which can not be built in Release.
  This feature will work only if you invoke msbuild against rocksdb.sln
  Invoking it against ALL_BUILD target will attempt to build everything.
