This PR adds a note in the debugging docs about how to get the process address of the start of linear memory when debugging. This is useful when needing to inspect the value referred to by a pointer. It wasn't immediately obvious to me how to figure out the location of the start of linear memory until I attempted to auto-complete __vmctx-> in my debugger. Including this in the docs would make it more obvious.

I have not opened an issue to discuss this since this seems like a very minor change.

I do not know who to assign to this PR from the core maintainer team at this time.
