Allow debugging without debug file rotation.
start_debug() takes a boolean indicating whether to rotate debug
files.
The -d option allows a negative number. If negative, debug files
are not rotated. The debug level is the absolute value.
This is useful for continuously watching (e.g. tail -f) the
.muttdebug0 file.
