[plt-scheme] Distinguishing between pressing Run or Debug button in a tool

I'm not sure I understand.  The debug button is itself part of a tool,
not part of the standard DrScheme interface, so writing another tool
that assumes it's there seems problematic.  Am I missing something?

Robby, your change certainly simplifies things, but it looks to me
like the execute-callback will still be invoked along the main path
through debug-callback.  Again, maybe I'm misunderstanding what the
problem is.

In general, my impression was "debugging = extra setup + execution",
so I don't see how to avoid making the debug button do everything the
execute button does (and then some).
