Rework the Optimizing for size page

- Order options from most important to least important.
- Give estimates on space saved for each option.
- Clarify the benefits of stripping binaries.
- Link to the Godot build options generator in the Overriding build
  options link instead of linking it in the Optimizing for size page.

+Stripping binaries
+------------------
+
+- **Space savings:** Very high
+- **Difficulty:** Easy
+- **Performed in official builds:** Yes
+
+If you build Windows (MinGW), Linux or macOS binaries from source, remember to
+strip debug symbols from binaries by installing the ``strip`` package from your
+distribution then running:
+
+::
+
+    strip path/to/godot.binary
+
+On Windows, ``strip.exe`` is included in most MinGW toolchain setups.
+
+This will reduce the size of compiled binaries by a factor between 5× and 10×.
+The downside is that crash backtraces will no longer provide accurate information
+(which is useful for troubleshooting the cause of a crash).
+:ref:`C++ profilers <using_cpp_profilers>` will also no longer be able to display
+function names (this does not affect the built-in GDScript profiler).
+
+.. note::
+
+    The above command will not work on Windows binaries compiled with MSVC
+    and platforms such as Android and HTML5. Instead, pass ``debug_symbols=no``
+    on the SCons command line when compiling.
+
+Optimizing for size instead of speed
+------------------------------------
+
+- **Space savings:** High
+- **Difficulty:** Easy
+- **Performed in official builds:** Yes, but only for HTML5
+
+Godot 3.1 onwards allows compiling using size optimizations (instead of speed).
+To enable this, set the ``optimize`` flag to ``size``:
+
+::
+
+    scons p=windows target=release tools=no optimize=size
+
+Some platforms such as WebAssembly already use this mode by default.
+
+Compiling with link-time optimization
+-------------------------------------
+
+- **Space savings:** High
+- **Difficulty:** Easy
+- **Performed in official builds:** Yes
+
+Enabling link-time optimization produces more efficient binaries, both in
+terms of performance and file size. It works by eliminating duplicate
+template functions and unused code. It can currently be used with the GCC
+and MSVC compilers:
+
+::
+
+    scons p=windows target=release tools=no use_lto=yes
+
+Linking becomes much slower and more RAM-consuming with this option,
+so it should be used only for release builds:
+
+- When compiling the ``master`` branch, you need to have at least 8 GB of RAM
+  available for successful linking with LTO enabled.
+- When compiling the ``3.x`` branch, you need to have at least 6 GB of RAM
+  available for successful linking with LTO enabled.
 
 Disabling 3D

+- **Space savings:** Moderate
