+TCBs: Track metadata fragment metadata internally, not in InternalThreadState::DebugStore
+#### Current Situation

+Currently, debug metadata is tracked by its guest entrypoint, and it is assumed that there's an 1:1 mapping between fragments and guest entry points.

+

+There are a number of cases where this is not true. The current fragment may be invalidated, but still executing.  eg

+- Cross thread SMC invalidation

+- Signal or thunk return

+- Shared memory mode migration

+- Possibly others

+

+There is also a race condition, as debug metadata corresponds to a specific version of a fragment, however a guest entrypoint is inherently not versioned. 

+

+#### Proposal

+We can track debug (and other) metadata, as part of the host fragment translation. This way, we will be able to locate the correct version. Metadata clearing will also become a responsibility of the backend, which will reduce the context's responsibilities. To get debug data for a specific translation, a host TCB ptr will be required.
