Henrik Skupin fca264c1ec Bug 1669230 - [remote] Remove --remote-debugger command line argument. r=remote-protocol-reviewers,jgraham
Using different names for enabling the remote agent via
--remote-debugger and --remote-debugging-port adds confusion
to users. Also given that --remote-debugging is actually
not used by any client library including Puppeteer,
it can be removed.

Using --remote-debugging-port instead will bring us onpar
with Chrome and how it enables CDP.

The Firefox remote agent is a low-level debugging interface based
on the CDP protocol.
With it, you can inspect the state and control execution of documents
running in web content, instrument Gecko in interesting ways,
simulate user interaction for automation purposes, and debug
JavaScript execution.
This component provides an experimental and partial implementation
of a remote devtools interface using the CDP protocol and transport
layer.
See https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/remote/ for documentation.
It is available in Firefox Nightly and is started this way:
% ./mach run --remote-debugging-port
