After some experimentation, it does not need to be marked: pldebugger
gets at that via find_rendezvous_variable(), so there is no need for
any explicit linkage at all between plpgsql.so and plugin_debugger.so.

Along the way, I made a quick hack to get pldebugger to load into
v15/HEAD. It lacks #ifdef's which'd be needed so that it'd still
compile against older branches, but perhaps this'll save someone
some time.
