Description

The static .h include thing in debugger/commands has always been a bit of a hack.

There should be a debugger library.

Also that makes it easier to ignore when GNU readline is not around in mimalist environments, and you still want to other features of remake.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the static .h include structure under debugger/commands and how GNU readline is currently required. Determine the library boundary and build changes needed so debugger support can be separated while other remake features remain usable without readline. Done means the debugger code is provided as a library and minimal environments can omit readline.
