hardware/ulx3s: integrate new debugger, bump VRAM back to 128Kb

The internal EBR array must stall new operations if there's a pending
read result that hasn't been retired yet. All that clever stuff with
non-blocking DelayLines and all that? Yeah, spoiler alert, there's a
reason guarded FIFOs are the preferred API for this stuff. Play unsafe
games, win unsafe prizes.
