pfeldman@chromium.org 54f0a5b221 Expose debug context into the native code. This change is doing several things:
1) Exposes Local<Context> v8::Debug::GetDebugContext().
Rationale: We can already get debugger context instance using various workarounds,
so exposing it explicitly in the API only makes things more clear.

2) Removes debugger.HasJavaScriptFrames() requirement for entering debugger context.
Rationale: Sometimes we'd like to call into debugger from the external native code.

3) Makes Debugger v8::Debug::Call execute on debugger context's global object.
Rationale: This is somewhat arguable, but temporary measure. We've agreed that we
should introduce a DebugAPI object that would expose necessary API in the debug-delay.
The problem is that it would take some time to define this API and it is not really
convenient to do that on the v8 land given the difference in v8 / host lifecycle.
The plan is to compose this API as a Debug.* wrapper outside v8 by means of exposing
debugger context's global object here, and once API settles down, upstream it to v8 and
start making Debug::Calls on this new DebugAPI object instead.

* do 2 things at one time so normal script execution must be interrupted
* for a while.
*
* Generally when message arrives V8 may be in one of 3 states:
* 1. V8 is running script; V8 will automatically interrupt and process all
* pending messages (however auto_break flag should be enabled);
* 2. V8 is suspended on debug breakpoint; in this state V8 is dedicated
* to reading and processing debug messages;
* 3. V8 is not running at all or has called some long-working C++ function;
* by default it means that processing of all debug message will be deferred
* until V8 gets control again; however, embedding application may improve
* this by manually calling this method.
*
* It makes sense to call this method whenever a new debug message arrived and
* V8 is not already running. Method v8::Debug::SetDebugMessageDispatchHandler
* should help with the former condition.
*
* Technically this method in many senses is equivalent to executing empty
* script:
* 1. It does nothing except for processing all pending debug messages.
* 2. It should be invoked with the same precautions and from the same context
* as V8 script would be invoked from, because:
* a. with "evaluate" command it can do whatever normal script can do,
* including all native calls;
* b. no other thread should call V8 while this method is running
* (v8::Locker may be used here).
*
* "Evaluate" debug command behavior currently is not specified in scope
* of this method.
