Description

There are various arguments which are used rarely and purely for debugging. Currently that's at least --debug-exit and --pdb-postmortem, and soon something like --webengine-mainworld-js or so too.

Instead, we should have a single --debug-flag argument (which can be used multiple times).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing debug flags like debug exit and pdb postmortem in the CLI argument parser, then implement a new debug flag argument that accepts multiple values (e.g., 'exit', 'pdb', 'webengine mainworld'). Update the code that checks these flags to use the new mechanism.
