Support `tractor.pause_from_sync()` in `brokerd`s

By passing down the `tractor.hilevel.ServiceMngr.debug_mode: bool`
(normally proxied in from the `--pdb` CLI flag) to `spawn_brokerd()` and
adjusting the `_setup_persistent_brokerd()` endpoint to do the
`tractor.devx._debug.maybe_init_greenback()` if needed.

Also in the `broker_init()` factory merge all `tractor` related `kwargs`
(i.e. `start_actor_kwargs | datad_kwargs | spawn_kws`) into the 2nd
element returned as to be passed to `ActorNursery.start_actor()`. Start
re-naming some internal vars/fields as `datad` as well.

+            # same `Actor.uid` of the raising service-mngr task) the
+            # service-task's ctx itself was never marked as having
+            # requested cancellation and thus still raises the ctxc
+            # bc it was unaware of any such request.
+            #
+            # How to make grokin these cases easier tho?
+            # ------------------------------------------

+            # process which IS NOT THE SAME as a single inter-actor

+            #    `.canceller` being *our `Actor`* and in the case
+            #    where `Context._cancel_called == False` we specially
+            #    note that this is likely an "out-of-band"
+            #    runtime-cancel request triggered by some call to
+            #    `Portal.cancel_actor()`, possibly even reporting the
+            #    exact LOC of that caller by tracking it inside our
+            #    portal-type?
