Matthew Rasmus 7ae32f7f97 servo: Merge #4083 - Mach debugger flag (from mttr:mach_debugger_flag); r=mbrubeck
Borrows two python modules from mozilla-central to give mach the ability to detect and pass arguments to a system's preferred debugger, and adds `--debug` and `--debugger` flags to `./mach run`. This works almost like the functionality described [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Debugging_Mozilla_with_gdb), but at the moment it lacks a `--debugparams`  argument.

This module contains a set of function to gather information about the
debugging capabilities of the platform. It allows to look for a specific
debugger or to query the system for a compatible/default debugger.
The following simple example looks for the default debugger on the
current platform and launches a debugger process with the correct
debugger-specific arguments:
::
import mozdebug
debugger = mozdebug.get_default_debugger_name()
debuggerInfo = mozdebug.get_debugger_info(debugger)
debuggeePath = "toDebug"
processArgs = [self.debuggerInfo.path] + self.debuggerInfo.args
processArgs.append(debuggeePath)
run_process(args, ...)
