devtools: Show clients where they can set breakpoints (#37667)

devtools clients query source actors to determine where the user can set
breakpoints in a source. there are two relevant requests here:
`getBreakableLines` controls which line numbers can be clicked in the
margin, and once a line number is clicked,
`getBreakpointPositionsCompressed` controls where to show breakpoint
buttons within that line.

this patch handles those requests by querying the [SpiderMonkey Debugger
API](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/js/Debugger/) for that
information:
- devtools sends its script thread a GetPossibleBreakpoints message for
the source’s
[`spidermonkey_id`](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/js/Debugger/Debugger.Source.html#id)
- the script thread fires a `getPossibleBreakpoints` event into its
debugger global
- the debugger script looks up the
[root](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/js/Debugger/Debugger.html#onnewscript-script-global)
[Debugger.Script](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/js/Debugger/Debugger.Script.html#getpossiblebreakpoints-query)
for that source, calls
[getPossibleBreakpoints()](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/js/Debugger/Debugger.Script.html#getpossiblebreakpoints-query),
and returns the result via
DebuggerGlobalScope#getPossibleBreakpointsResult()
- that method takes the pending result sender, and sends the result back
to devtools
- devtools massages the result into the format required by the request,
and replies to the client

as a result, users of the Firefox devtools client can now set
breakpoints, though they don’t have any effect.

Testing: this patch adds new devtools tests
