Fix unintentional skipping of module level doctests...
Fix unintentional skipping of module level doctests Importing `skip_doctest` decorator unintentionally marks for skipping a module level doctest. It happens because doctests discovery only checks whether a variable with name `skip_doctest` is presented without checking the type. I have renamed the 'magic' variable name to `__skip_doctest__` to resolve the name clash, and also made the check actually depend on the variable content. The module level doctest in `core/debugger.py` was previously unintentionally skipped and now is disabled because it contains syntax/name errors.

"""Decorators marks that a doctest should be skipped.
The IPython.testing.decorators module triggers various extra imports, including
numpy and sympy if they're present. Since this decorator is used in core parts
of IPython, it's in a separate module so that running IPython doesn't trigger
those imports."""
