Camillo Lugaresi 18dbe47f9f debrew: formula debugging for homebrew
A new feature for easing the pain of working with complex formulas, or
formulas for large packages. When running brew in debug mode (-d), if an
exception propagates outside the formula's install method, you now get a menu
which lets you return to the point where the exception was raised and perfom
several useful actions, such as:
- printing a backtrace
- entering IRB to examine the context and test ruby code
- entering the debugger (if ruby-debug is available)
- entering a shell
- ignoring the exception or proceeding with the raise as normal

Signed-off-by: Max Howell <mxcl@me.com>

* Fixed conflict in build.rb.
* Removed old debug handling in Formula.brew.

Closes Homebrew/homebrew#10435.
