[debug] Treat Comma-separated Expressions like Statements when Stepping.

This CL introduces statement positions before the right-hand side of
comma expressions, in order to align the stepping behavior (and also
generally the breakpoint behavior) around semicolon (;) and comma (,)
separated expressions.

The motivation here is that left-hand sides of comma expressions are
evaluated purely for their side-effects and as such, they aren't
really any different from statements from a developers perspective.
And more importantly, minifiers (like UglifyJS, terser, or esbuild)
by default turn statement expression lists into comma-separated
expressions, thus implicitly changing the stepping behavior in ways
that are difficult to understand for developers.

V8 JavaScript Engine

V8 is Google's open source JavaScript engine.

V8 implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262.

V8 is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google.

V8 can run standalone, or can be embedded into any C++ application.

V8 Project page: https://v8.dev/docs

Getting the Code

Checkout depot tools, and run

    fetch v8

This will checkout V8 into the directory v8 and fetch all of its dependencies. To stay up to date, run

    git pull origin
    gclient sync

For fetching all branches, add the following into your remote configuration in .git/config:

    fetch = +refs/branch-heads/*:refs/remotes/branch-heads/*
    fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
