Seth Brenith 18e1eec3d7 [v8windbg] Fix crash when reading external strings
The debug_helper library is intended to be used from a debugger process
which is attached to the debuggee process that includes V8 content. When
reading memory from the debuggee process, debug_helper should use the
MemoryAccessor function which reads remote memory rather than
dereferencing pointers into the debugger's memory space and potentially
crashing. I recently noticed that v8windbg crashes on external strings
because the sandbox has been enabled, and the debug_helper code for
external strings was incorrectly reading memory from the debugger
process rather than the debuggee.

You might ask: why wasn't this caught in automated tests? There is a
test, cctest/test-debug-helper, which exercises this exact code, but it
does so with the debugger and debuggee in the same process. Setting up a
proper cross-process test would be much more complex and
platform-specific, and this class of bug has never turned up before, so
I think the existing test coverage is adequate.
