dpkg-buildflags: Honor feature area settings from DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
This allows users to specify build flags from specific area features.
These settings will be overridden by any subsequent settings from
DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS, in the same way other build flags are affected,
so that the maintainer can disable specific things that might be broken.
