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).

the only platform that it works on is linux (using the prctl API to set the
names of the threads). Other platforms are setup to build properly if the
flag is set, but their thread names are not currently set.

When removing debug_info from SharedFunctionInfo, clear all breakpoints associated with that debug_info.
This is needed because function will live in heap until next gc, and therefore can be found
by Runtime::FindSharedFunctionInfoInScript.

With the change in r4820 all return statements are now breakable like any statement, so stepping will stop before the return statement actually returning from a function. With this change the position when breaking in the function return (after executing the return statement) will be the actual end of the function. At this point the return value is available as it saved to the stack by the debug break at return handling. Added information on the actual value returned from the function to the debugger.

Added support for more precise break points when debugging and stepping. To achieve that additional nop instructions are inserted where breaking would otherwise be impossible. The number of nop instructions inserted are sufficient to make place for patching with a call to a debug break code stub. On Intel that is 5 nop's for 32-bit and 13 for 64-bit. Om ARM 3 nop instructions (12 bytes) are required.
In order to avoid inserting nop's in to many places a simple ast checker have been added to check whether there are breakable code in a statement or expression. If it is possible to break in an expression no additional break enabeling code is inserted.
Added break locations to the true and false part of a conditional expression.
Added stepping tests to cover more constructs.
These changes are only in the full compiler.
Changed the default value for the option --debugger in teh d8 shell from true to false. The reason for this is that with --debugger turned on the full compiler will be used for all code in when running d8, which can be unexpeceted.
