Restrict debugger workaround to when DB::sub will be used

The issues with the debugger only arise when DB::sub will be called.
Since the workaround requires XS modules, avoid it unless actually
needed.  This avoids XS prereqs when using modules like Devel::Confess
that use debugger features but don't require the workaround.
