Details

loadSubScript can be used to load code from an add-on into an existing global. We should detect this and add the global as a debuggee for the add-on debugger.
I'm struggling to think of cases where restartless add-ons would want to do this onto a global they don't already own so probably not worth doing until we spot problems
Summary: When loadSubScript is called with a URI from an add-on add the global to the add-on debugger → Debugging scripts loaded from an add-on with loadSubScript

@mossop This doesn't only affect restartless add-ons, but other add-ons, too. E.g. Selenium IDE and the family of its sub-addons use loadSubScript extensively.
