DevTools: remove outdated debugging UI

Project Member Reported by l...@chromium.org, Nov 30

Issue description

A few pieces of DevTools UI were added to aid debugging, but may now be obsolete.  We should validate these and remove if appropriate:

- When debugger is paused, the inspected page is overlaid with a gray/transparent background, "Continue" button, and "Step over" button.  The "Step over" button does not make much sense when source code is not visible.

Looks good as is. We are hoping that the distance between the scrollbar and 'x' could be decreased, but if this is tricky, it's ok as is. 

Thank you!
The 'Step over' button has been there since 2013, introduced in  issue 247632 .  During the UX audit, we didn't see much sense in having it there.
dgozman@, is there a use case/need for it?
