Details:
    This change only fixes the reported problem, and does not refactor.
    The technique ended up being: wherever 'backtrace' and 'profile'
    have special argument handling, add the same sort of handling for
    sourceannotations; add another argument to getLFCname to enforce
    that the caller has knowledge about sourceannotations, and put
    the smarts about what to do in getLFCname.

    getLFCname should be remodularized to reduce the proliferation of
arguments, but there are some challenges to doing this, recorded here
    in case someone wants to take up the gauntlet again.
    First, not all the callers to getLFCname have ready access to a
    CompilationEnvironment.  In particular, Canvas calls
getLFCname - combining information from an original CompilationEnvironment with canvas attributes (so that debugging can be set on the canvas).

And, while this can be solved (giving Canvas a copy of CompilationEnvironment, or even just the properties), there are at least two additional mysteries that
    need better assessing.

    1) CompilationManager.getInfoXML() calls getLFCname using values
      from the request properties that don't completely line up with
      the properties used either in CompilationEnvironment or
ResponderCompile.initCMgrProperties ('lzbacktrace' is used in initCMgrProperties(),
      'backtrace' is used in getInfoXML()).

2) ResponderLFC.respondImpl() calls getLFCname using standard values in CompilationEnvironment (yay!) except that it also consults an extra
       request parameter "_canvas_debug" (boo!)

It didn't seem safe to do refactoring and change these two call sites (possibly breaking some functionality), and not having these sites changed makes
    the refactoring rather less effective.  If I knew how to completely
test the various namespaces that seem to be in use (whether intentional or not),
    I'd be more bold in making a change of this sort.


Tests:
    Regression: {smokecheck,weather,lzpix} x {swf8,swf9,dhtml}
    Functionality: simple app observing libraries loaded via args
          ARGS:                        LFC version:
        (noargs)                     LFCdhtml
        lzbacktrace=true             LFCdhtml-backtrace
        backtrace=true               LFCdhtml
        lzsourceannotations=true     LFCdhtml-backtrace
