Make Scope non ref counted (#1904)

* Add debug symbols for release build.

* Hack to try and capture failing compilation.

* Typo fix for capture hack.

* Specify return type on lambdas.

* Added const.

* Try breakpoint.

* Up count

* Let's capture everything so we can valgrind.

* Disable always writing repros.

* Make Scope non RefCounted.

* Fix issue with not serializing Scope.

* More comments around changes to Scope.
Remove Scope* from serialization.

* Remove code used for testing original issue.
