model-conversion : add debug option to conversion script (#19265)

This commit adds a debug option to the model conversion script to enable
using the Python debugger (pdb) during model conversion.

The motivation for this is that I've found myself adding this a few
times now and it would be quicker to have this flag as an option and a
makefile target/recipe for it.
