    Overhaul "debugging" section of README · 89668977
    Nadav Har'El authored
    
    The "debugging" section of README.md was misleading - it suggested
    one needs to build with "mode=debug" to debug (usually, you don't),
    or that disabling preemption was a good idea for debugging.
    
    Change this to drop the preempt=0 suggestion, and make mode=debug an
    option, not a recommendation. Also link to our "Debugging OSv" wiki
    page, which is much more informative - and includes very important
    information still missing in the README (such as a line one needs to
    add to ~/.gdbinit, and how to handle multiple vcpus).
