Android 4.3's run-as tool doesn't work, preventing us from running gdbserver without root. One workaround is to be able to launch gdbserver within Fennec.

We already have the org.mozilla.gecko.DEBUG action when starting Fennec which tells Fennec to wait for the debugger. This patch extends this action to launch gdbserver as well if arguments are given in a string extra. Because of the security risk of running something in a world-writable directory within Fennec's context, the patch also restricts the DEBUG action to debuggable builds only (i.e. non-MOZILLA_OFFICIAL builds). Might be worth a sec review too.

This only affected 4.3, which is less of a problem now that 4.4 is out.
