Fix debugging of string-match-p errors
* src/eval.c (call_debugger): Bind inhibit-changing-match-data to nil so that debugger code that needs to do regexp match won't break (Bug #23949, Bug #24166, Bug#16294). This was backported from master (cherry picked from commit 7fb75680b38fe0805c2ff7e9cca3bec8121ba984)
