Xdebug: config for debugging PHP-CLI scripts

Configuration in xdebug.ini is not enough for debugging PHP-CLI scripts because Xdebug hasn't information about mapping of local and server files.

Tips

• If you want to set a breakpoint on array — set it on a first element of array. In another case the breakpoint will be inactive.
• Use conditional breakpoints (right click of mouse by the breakpoint).
• Change files of Drupal core only if you use Git.
• Use CTRL + Click by function name to navigate into this function.
• Set a breakpoint into index.php to ensure that the debugger works.
• Add a parameter ?XDEBUG_SESSION_STOP to the URL if you want to stop a debugging process on server side.
