Previous history: bug 1525303, bug 1386918

Our Pernosco debugger has the ability to do "after the fact" logging. This works by changing the return value of functions that trigger logging (such as LazyLogModule::operator LogModule*) and then diverging to follow the changed code path as it writes logs. When this function is inlined, we cannot do this (primarily because we don't have an ABI guarantee of where the return value is at any point in time).

In light of the previous performance history here, I propose to out-of-line this in debug builds only.
