[Flight] Avoid unnecessary indirection when serializing debug info (#34797)

When a debug channel is hooked up, and we're serializing debug models,
if the result is an already outlined reference, we can emit it directly,
without also outlining the reference. This would create an unnecessary
indirection.

Before:

```
:N1760023808330.2688
0:D"$2"
0:D"$3"
0:D"$4"
0:"hi"

1:{"name":"Component","key":null,"env":"Server","stack":[],"props":{}}
2:{"time":3.0989999999999327}
3:"$1"
4:{"time":3.261792000000014}
```

After:

```
:N1760023786873.8916
0:D"$2"
0:D"$1"
0:D"$3"
0:"hi"

1:{"name":"Component","key":null,"env":"Server","stack":[],"props":{}}
2:{"time":2.4145829999999933}
3:{"time":2.5488749999999527}
```

Notice how the second debug info chunk is now directly referencing chunk
`1` in the debug channel, without outlining and referencing `"$1"` as
its own debug chunk `3`.

This not only simplifies the RSC payload, and reduces overhead. But more
importantly it helps the client resolve cyclic references when a model
has debug info that has a reference back to the model. The client is
currently not able to resolve such a cycle when those chunk indirections
are involved. Ideally, it would also be able to resolve them regardless,
but that requires more work. In the meantime, this fixes an immediate
issue.
