Summary: Add a simple evaluator to the swf8/9 debugger

Bugs Fixed:
LPP-7271  swf9: exceptions running debugger in embedded HTML

Technical Reviewer: hminsky (pending)
QA Reviewer: a.bargull at intensis.de (pending)

Details:
     Added a simple evaluator that can evaluate globals, object member
     and array index expressions without having to invoke the server
     compiler (e.g., `canvas.subviews[0]`).  This will allow simple
     object inspection in the debugger in solo apps or apps deployed
     without the lps server; it will also speed up the evaluation of
     such simple expressions as the server will not be invoked to
     compile them.

Tests:
     lzc --debug someapp.lzx, load that app directly from your
     filesystem, evaluate `canvas.subviews[0]` in the debugger and note
     that it works.
