Subject[RFC PATCH v4 18/19] dyndbg: shuffle ddebug_table fields
Date
In preparation to unionize structs _ddebug & ddebug_table, shuffle
fields in latter so they match the layout of the former. This MAY
simplify initialization of the header field, in particular by
preserving *sites.

It also sets up a later conversion to a flex-array ddebugs[].

This step is mostly to isolate/prove no breakage before HEAD++

+ * Its other job is handled by its placement in the front of a
