Subject: [PATCH] build: add configure option to debug only Node.js part of the
 binary
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Building Node.js with `--debug` takes a long time and generates
binaries that can be hard to work with due to their size, in
particular because debug builds of V8 are large.

Sometimes, it’s sufficient to build the Node.js parts with native
debugging options enabled. Add an option for that.
