This improves both Next and Out to avoid interpreting and stepping everything between when they start and finish. Out now lets the program run free until a pseudo-breakpoint at the return site it hit. Next continues to single-step the source line being stepped over, but now lets the program run free under calls made from that line. The logic in Next regarding "calls made from that line" is extremely generic. We don't look at, say, call opcodes and decide to do something special. Rather, when we find we're off the original source line and a frame deeper we setup a "step out" operation much like the Out command then let the program run free. When we reach our return point, we continue stepping like normal. This accounts for not just calls, but iterators, and anything else that causes more PHP to run under the original source line. This change moves the flow control logic down in to the respective cmds: Next, Step, Out, Continue. These cmds get a crack at executing at various points in the interrupt/command processing path. These cmds now own setting up the last location filter, whether they need VM interrupts, and whether they're done or not.
