libexpr: fix --debugger --ignore-try

a65e9e5828 did not inform `tryEval` that
(as far as it's concerned) `state.debug` moved to `state.errors.debug`
and changed types. this resulted in the REPL erroneously coming up, that
REPL having a non-debug state, and segfaulting after that REPL exited.

it's probably good that `state.debug` isn't mutated by `--ignore-try`
anymore.

+When in debug mode (e.g. from using the `--debugger` flag), enabling [`ignore-try`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-ignore-try) once again properly disables debug REPLs within [`builtins.tryEval`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-tryEval) calls. Previously, a debug REPL would be started as if `ignore-try` was disabled, but that REPL wouldn't actually be in debug mode, and upon exiting the REPL the evaluating process would segfault.
