Add support for lexical variables to the debugger's `e' command.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/debug.el (debug): Don't let-bind the debugger-outer-* vars, except for debugger-outer-match-data. (debugger-frame-number): Move check for "on a function call" from callers into it. Add `skip-base' argument. (debugger-frame, debugger-frame-clear): Simplify accordingly. (debugger-env-macro): Only reset the state stored in non-variables, i.e. current-buffer and match-data. (debugger-eval-expression): Rewrite using backtrace-eval. * lisp/subr.el (internal--called-interactively-p--get-frame): Remove. (called-interactively-p): * lisp/emacs-lisp/edebug.el (edebug--called-interactively-skip): Use the new `base' arg of backtrace-frame instead. * src/eval.c (set_specpdl_old_value): New function. (unbind_to): Minor simplification. (get_backtrace_frame): New function. (Fbacktrace_frame): Use it. Add `base' argument. (backtrace_eval_unrewind, Fbacktrace_eval): New functions. (syms_of_eval): Export backtrace-eval. * src/xterm.c (x_focus_changed): Simplify.

+** The debugger's `e' command evaluates the code in the context at point.
+This includes using the lexical environment at point, which means that
+`e' now lets you access lexical variables as well.
