Console + UI + Script debugging release

As you've seen before, quite some work has gone into Opera Dragonfly's UI lately. We have now released these changes on the default path, so everyone should be able to see them. Here are some more things that we have improved:

Debug what you submit in the console

Before, when you placed a debugger; statement in the body of for example function a, you didn't hit that statement when you called a() from Opera Dragonfly's console. The reason was that it would have made things difficult in the interface. If you - while stopped - submitted a() again, it would get pretty hard to reflect this state in the user interface. The solution now is to let you debug anything that you type in the console, but once you're stopped, Dragonfly goes back to the old behavior so you won't be stopped again.

That means you can now submit something like

(function(my_arg){debugger;})("let's have an argument")
and you'll be stopped right away to see your arguments.

Instant debugging from the console in Opera Dragonfly

Stepping improvements

When clicking through that not too exciting callstack above you won't notice, but updates in this view are now smooth. The view is not scrolled when stepping from line to line unless it has too. This was contributed by Rafał Chłodnicki, many thanks!
