Enhance debugging capabilities and update build configuration

- Introduced a new debug logging mechanism by defining `dbg_log` for conditional logging based on the `DEBUG_BUILD` option.
- Updated `build.ps1` to include a debug flag for CMake configuration.
- Refactored logging calls across multiple source files to utilize the new `dbg_log` function, improving consistency and clarity in debug output.
- Added a new header file `debug-log.h` to centralize debug logging definitions.
