Alex Kodat 9329f558bb [debug] Restore StepNext on correct frame for RestoreDebug
When an Isolate in a multi-threaded environment is being debugged
and a thread does a Step Over (StepNext internally) one-shot
breaks are created in the code at the stack frame where the
StepNext occurred. However, if the stepped-over statement had
a function call and the called function (or some function that
it called) unlocked the Isolate (via a C++ function call) and
another thread then locked the Isolate, an ArchiveDebug would
be done which would save the fact that a StepNext is active and
the call frame depth of the StepNext. The one-shot breaks would
then be cleared to avoid stopping the now running thread.

When the original thread that did the StepNext relocks the Isolate,
a RestoreDebug is done which, seeing that a StepNext was active
calls PrepareDebug which assumes that the StepNext must be for
the current JS frame which is usually correct, but not in this
case. This results in the StepNext break actually occurring in the
function that called the C++ function not in the function where
the StepNext was originally done. In addition, the function where
the break now happens must necessarily be deoptimized if
optimized, and debug code and a source map table created if one
doesn't already exists though this is largely invisible to the
user.

Occasionally, a crash/core dump also occurs because the stack
guard is restored after the debugging environment is restored in
the RestoreThread code which can prevent the compiler from being
called to generate the source map table (for the incorrect
function) since the stack guard is another thread's stack guard,
and so might appear that the stack guard has been gone past so
the compiler is not called, resulting in there being no source
map table. But PrepareStep ends up calling the BreakIterator
(via the DebugInfo constructor) which assumes there is a source
map table so we get a crash.

The fix is to have PrepareStep to skip to the frame where the
StepNext was done before doing its thing. Since the only
PrepareStepcaller that requires a frame other than the current
frame, is RestoreDebug, a target frame parameter was added to
PrepareStep that's set by RestoreDebug and defaults to -1
indicating to use the current frame for all other callers.

While this made the order of the debug environment and stack
guard no longer cause an obvious problem, it still felt wrong
to defer restoration of the stack guard until after something
as potentially complex as PrepareStep might be called, so the
order of RestoreDebug and RestoreStackGuard calls were reversed.
