Update the Debugging Rails Guide
[skip ci].
- Update to the current output when running `byebug help`.
- Remove the alias `exit` because it does not work and seems to have
been removed from Byebug, as confirmed by the source code here:
https://github.com/deivid-rodriguez/byebug/blob/master/lib/byebug/comman
ds/quit.rb
- Added the useful `q!` instead to avoid the "Really quit? (y/n)"
prompt.
