Could V8 Inspector Support be Added for Debugging JS with Chrome DevTools? #126

Description

While using STPyV8, I found it would be amazing if we could debug JavaScript code through Chrome DevTools.
As a Python developer (not familiar with C++), I've tried to implement this feature by researching and using AI assistance, but found it quite challenging due to the low-level V8 engine integration involved.

With Chrome DevTools debugging, we would be able to:

  1. Set breakpoints
  2. Step through code
  3. Inspect variables
  4. Evaluate expressions
  5. View call stack

These debugging capabilities would be incredibly helpful for troubleshooting issues and understanding code execution. Given that STPyV8 is a more complete Python-V8 binding implementation, adding this feature would take the debugging experience to the next level.
