lib, src: add vm.runInDebugContext()

Compiles and executes source code in V8's debugger context.  Provides
a programmatic way to get access to the debug object by executing:

    var Debug = vm.runInDebugContext('Debug');

Fixes #7886.

+## vm.runInDebugContext(code)
+
+`vm.runInDebugContext` compiles and executes `code` inside the V8 debug context.
+The primary use case is to get access to the V8 debug object:
+
+    var Debug = vm.runInDebugContext('Debug');
+    Debug.scripts().forEach(function(script) { console.log(script.name); });
+
+Note that the debug context and object are intrinsically tied to V8's debugger
+implementation and may change (or even get removed) without prior warning.
+
+The debug object can also be exposed with the `--expose_debug_as=` switch.
