    [debugger] tuned StepNext and StepOut at return position · e27d18c9
    kozyatinskiy authored
    Proposed behaviour:
    - StepNext at return position go into next function call (no changes with current behavior, but implemented in v8::Debug instead of hack on inspector side);
    - StepOut at return position go into next non-current function call.
    
    We need this to have better stepping in cases with native functions, blackboxed functions and/or different embedder calls (e.g. event listeners).
    
    New behavior could be illustrated with two examples (for more see stepping-with-natives-and-frameworks test):
    - let's assume that we've blackboxed callAll function, this function just takes its arguments and call one after another:
    var foo = () => 1;
    callAll(foo, foo, () => 2);
    If we break inside of first call of function foo. Then on..
    ..StepNext - we're able to reach second call of function foo,
    ..StepOut - we're able to reach () => 2 call.
    
    - let's consider case with native function:
    [1,2,3].map(x => x * 2)
    If we break inside of first callback call, then with StepNext we can iterate through all calls of callback, with StepOut we go to next statement after .map call.
    
    Implementation details:
    - when we request break we schedule step-in function call for any step action at return position and for step-in at any position,
    - when we request StepOut at return position - we mark current function as needed-to-be-ignored inside of PrepareStepIn(function) call,
    - when we request StepOut at not return position - we set break at return position and ask debugger to just repeat last step action on next stepping-related break.
