Remote access for xDebug

Currently the configuration of the Cloudways instances doesn't allow the remote use of xDebug. Allowing this, will allow developers to use the Cloudways applications for development purpose and allow them to debug the code as if they were on a local environment.

This has always been possible but you have to do a few extra steps.

Add this line to your PHP FPM Settings:

php_value[xdebug.remote_enable] = 1

Forward port 9000 through an SSH tunnel and debug away.

Not having this makes Cloudways useless for PHP development. C'mon guys.

Please enabling X-debug remote access. I cannot connect Xdebug from phpstorm on my laptop to cloudways server.
