1. Added gdb style debugger commands (and their shortcuts) for d8.
These include:
- s[tep] : step into the current statement.
- s[tep]i[n]: step into the current statement with the minimum step.
- n[ext] : step to the next statement.
- fin[ish] : step out of the current function.
- cond : setting conditions on breakpoints.
- d[elete] : deletes breakpoints.
- en[able]|dis[able]: enables/disables breakpoints including
exception breakpoints.
- ignore : ignores a breakpoint for a specified period.
- inf[o] ar[gs] : info on arguments of the current function.
- inf[o] lo[cals] : info on local vars of the current function.
- inf[o] br[eakpoints] : info on breakpoints.
- l[ist] : similar to source, but allows the user to continually
dump subsequent lines of source code either in the
forward or backward direction.
- quit / exit / disconnect : terminates the remote debugger
session.
NOTE: Active breakpoints will automatically be disabled when
the remote debugger detaches. This allows v8 to continue to
run without worrying about a loss of a debugger session.
2. Added support for breaking the debugger by simply typing ENTER.
The break command is now optional.
3. Once the debugger is broken, the user can now just type ENTER
to repeat the last command. This is useful to functionality that
needs to be invoked repeatedly e.g. step, list.
4. Added more verbose descriptions in d8's help.
5. Fixed a line and column number offset bug in the listing of breakpoint
line and column numbers.
6. Added a gc command to allow GCs to be requested from the debugger
interface. The plumbing for requesting different types of GCs is
there, but the underlying implementation currently only triggers a
full mark-compact GC. The command also returns the before and after
sizes of the heap.
7. Added trace json, and flags commands that are not published in help.
trace json is used for tracing the debugger packets send from and
received by d8. flags is for setting v8 flags. These are useful for
people debugging v8 itself, but not necessarily users of v8.
8. Added the ability to enable and disable break on all / uncaught
exceptions in to d8.
9. Added a fix to prevent the Debugger Agent from being re-instantiated
if one already exists.
10. Added the ability to filter results of the script command by matching
text or numbers on the results.
11. Added v8 flags to enable/disable the sending of debugger BeforeCompile,
AfterCompile, and ScriptCollected events.
12. Fixed some undefined value bugs that resulted in v8 or the debugger
failing.
13. Added a few minor WEBOS__ customizations (analogous to ANDROID
customizations).

This issue was raised by Brett Wilson while reviewing my changelist for readability. Craig Silverstein (one of C++ SG maintainers) confirmed that we should declare one namespace per line. Our way of namespaces closing seems not violating style guides (there is no clear agreement on it), so I left it intact.

The object delivered to the debug message handler contains additional information on the current break handling the messages.
Clients which require just JSON message parsing can simply get the JSON using the GetJSON message on the message object to still have the previous behaviour.
NewMessageHangler(const v8::Debug::Message& message) {
v8::String::Value val(message.GetJSON());
OldMessageHandler(Vector<uint16_t>(const_cast<uint16_t*>(*val), val.length()));
}
Refactored some of the debugger code to use internal handles instead of API handles. Also changed Object to JSObject is some places.
The access to the active context when the break occurred is still not implemented. I will add this in a new CL, as this one is quite big already.

The debug message thread was introduced to make it possible to have the message handler callback be called from a different thread than the thread running V8 where the debug event occoured, but it never had any practical use, and prevents providing information to the message handler which is only available from the V8 thread.
In the future any thread decoupling will have do be done by the embedder.
This also removes the queue used for outbound messages.
Renamed the class Message to CommandMessage as it is only used for debugger commands from the client. Related message queue classes has also been renamed.

ENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT is enabled by default unless it is on Android platform.
On Android platform, it can also enabled by passing -DENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT flag to the compiler.
This should not affect any existing build (I hope, cross my fingers) except the build in real Android environment (in other word, it only affects me now).
There are lot of room for code refactoring in stead of using #ifdef all over the place. I will leave this to v8 folks.

When the debugger agent terminates the used port can be stuck in TIME_WAIT for some time depending on the OS and the state of the socket. With this change will allow the debug agent to start listening on a port still in TIME_WAIT. During development of both V8 and embedding applications this makes it much easier to restart an application using the debugger agent.
This also makes it possible to run the tests involving the debugger agent multiple times without failure.

During bind and listen socket errors are now handled. If the listen socket is occoupied the agent will retry its bind operation until success or shutdown.
Added orderly shutdown of the debugger agent both with and without a client connected.

The debugger agent listens on a TCP/IP port for a remote debugger connection. When such a connection is established the debuger JSON protocol is communicated between the agent the the remote debugger. The messages containing the JSON protocol has a RFC-822 like header with a Content-Length field and with the body containing the JSON in UTF-8 encoding.
The D8 shell has option --debugger-agent to start the debugger agent.
