Hi, Sergey!

Thanks for the patch. Please, consider my suggestion: the debugger-aware «constants» are defined in one block per debugger.

> This patch adds tests for LuaJIT debugging extensions for lldb and gdb.
> The tests are written in Python's unittest framework [1].
> 
> Most of the tests are failed for the lldb due to outdated extension
> sources and overcomplicated hard-coded C structures fields
> introspection. Hence, tests for LLDB are disabled since they are failing
> anyway.
> 
> The tarantool-debugger-tests target is introduced. This target is
> included in the LuaJIT-check-all target but not in the LuaJIT-test
> target to avoid it running for all LuaJIT builds by default in CI.
