Added the ability to start/stop debugger from third party processes

[SeleDreams]

I have been working on this recently in order to make it easier to debug homebrew apps (associated with a modified version of hbmenu that makes use of this feature)

I used this opportunity to separate the debugger code from the menu code since it was getting a bit messy.

I found some issues so it shouldn't be merged yet

I'm actually curious about how you debug luma because i keep going back and forth with godmode 9 to delete the firm everytime luma panics but it would be better to be able to set breakpoints or have the debugger show me where it panics

@SeleDreams any updates on this? it's really useful

I couldn't get the random crashes on boot to stop happening and since i wasn't familiar enough with the codebase and there wasn't really a lot of documentation I ended up giving up on it.

the last build I did is on gbatemp https://gbatemp.net/threads/fork-of-luma3ds-and-homebrew-launcher-for-easy-debugging.625790/

thanks, i was trying to run unit tests on a physical console, i guess I'll take a deeper look at the code here tomorrow

uhm... @SeleDreams did you see this?

Luma3DS/sysmodules/loader/source/hbldr.c

Line 405 in 3b64e25

case 5: // DebugNextApplicationByForce (removed)

a quick lookup returns this
