* lisp/emacs-lisp/debug.el: (debugger-buffer-state): New cl-defstruct.
(debugger--restore-buffer-state): New function.
(debug): Use a debugger-buffer-state object to save and restore buffer

empty, instead of in fundamental-mode, and then when reusing a buffer,
not calling debugger-mode if the buffer is already in debugger-mode.

(debugger-continue, debugger-return-value): Change check for flags to
use backtrace-frames.

backtrace-frames.
(debugger--locals-visible-p, debugger--insert-locals)
(debugger--show-locals, debugger--hide-locals)
(debugger-toggle-locals): Remove.
(debugger-mode-map): Make a child of backtrace-mode-map.  Move
navigation commands to backtrace-mode-map.  Bind 'q' to debugger-quit
instead of top-level.  Make Help Follow menu item call
backtrace-help-follow-symbol.
(debugger-mode): Derive from backtrace-mode.
(debug-help-follow): Remove.  Move body of this function to
'backtrace-help-follow-symbol' in backtrace.el.
(debugger-quit): New function.

(edebug--symbol-not-prefixed-p): New functions.

* lisp/emacs-lisp/lisp-mode.el
