Bug 18964: Add --debugger option to koha-plack

CAVEAT: This patch is only about allowing koha-plack to start a debugging
session on a remote target. Configuring all the needed pieces to make it
work is out of the scope of the bug. Testing should be focused (mainly) on
making sure this introduces NO REGRESSIONS on regular use (i.e. not debugging).

This patch adds the following option switches to koha-plack:

--debugger
----------
Toggle debugging

--debugger-key
--------------
Some IDEs require a key, this needs to match because they are picky about it

--debugger-location
-------------------
This option switch is used to specify the host:port your IDE is listening at.
Inside kohadevbox (using Vdebug with Vim) this would be localhost:9000. Outside
kohadevbox it would be 192.168.50.1:9000

--debugger-path
---------------
This is the path in which you installed the Komodo Remote Debugger library [1].
In kohadevbox
you could put the contents of the downloaded .tar.gz in
/home/vagrant/dbgp/perllib. That
perllib seems to be required for things to work [2].

You can test with a simple CLI script things work:

PERL5LIB=/home/vagrant/dbgp/perllib:$PERL5LIB \
PERLDB="BEGIN { require q(/home/vagrant/dbgp/perllib/perl5db.pl) }" \
PERLDB_OPTS="RemotePort=192.168.50.1:9000" perl -d t/Prices.t

If you see action on your IDE, you are on the right track on the IDE side.

To test:
- Apply this patch
- Enable remote debugging on your IDE, on port 9000 (or adjust the command
  below to match your IDE's listening port).
- Download the Komodo Remote Debugger package, and place the package's contents
  in /home/vagrant/dbgp/perllib (you should see perl5db.pl in there).
- Run:
  $ sudo koha-plack --stop kohadev
  $ sudo kohaclone/debian/koha-plack --start \
                                     --debugger \
                                     --debugger-path /home/vagrant/dbgp/perllib
\
                                     --debugger-location 192.168.50.1:9000 \
                                     kohadev
=> SUCCESS: You IDE/tool gets a connection from the Plack process.
- Sign off :-D

The explanation on how to use it assumes you are running kohadevbox.

WARNING: The main difficulty I found was setting the right dir/file mappings.
