scripts: add option to start an interactive debug shell

Add an option that, when a command fails:
- starts an interactive shell with the failed command's environment
- attempts re-execution of the failed command, continues, or aborts
at user's whim.

Before starting the debug-shell, the backtrace is printed.
When exiting for an abort, the standard error message is printed.

Based on an idea and a patch from: Johannes Stezenbach <js@sig21.net>

     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
