[LLDB][Minidump] Have Minidumps save off and properly read TLS data (#109477)

This patch adds the support to `Process.cpp` to automatically save off
TLS sections, either via loading the memory region for the module, or
via reading `fs_base` via generic register. Then when Minidumps are
loaded, we now specify we want the dynamic loader to be the `POSIXDYLD`
so we can leverage the same TLS accessor code as `ProcessELFCore`. Being
able to access TLS Data is an important step for LLDB generated
minidumps to have feature parity with ELF Core dumps.

[lldb] Convert LocateSymbolFile into a plugin (#71151)

This commit contains the initial scaffolding to convert the
functionality currently implemented in LocateSymbolFile to a plugin
architecture. The plugin approach allows us to easily add new ways to
find symbols and fixes some issues with the current implementation.

For instance, currently we (ab)use the host OS to include support for
querying the DebugSymbols framework on macOS. The plugin approach
retains all the benefits (including the ability to compile this out on
other platforms) while maintaining a higher level of separation with the
platform independent code.

To limit the scope of this patch, I've only converted a single function:
LocateExecutableObjectFile. Future commits will convert the remaining
LocateSymbolFile functions and eventually remove LocateSymbolFile. To
make reviewing easier, that will done as follow-ups.

Flag for LoadBinaryWithUUIDAndAddress, to create memory image or not

DynamicLoader::LoadBinaryWithUUIDAndAddress can create a Module based
on the binary image in memory, which in some cases contains symbol
names and can be genuinely useful. If we don't have a filename, it
creates a name in the form `memory-image-0x...` with the header address.

In practice, this is most useful with Darwin userland corefiles
where the binary was stored in the corefile in whole, and we can't
find a binary with the matching UUID. Using the binary out of
the corefile memory in this case works well.

But in other cases, akin to firmware debugging, we merely end up
with an oddly named binary image and no symbols.

Add a flag to control whether we will create these memory images
and add them to the Target or not; only set it to true when working
with a userland Mach-O image with the "all image infos" LC_NOTE for
a userland corefile.

Fix a few bugs with Mach-O corefile loading, plus perf

In ProcessMachCore::LoadBinariesViaMetadata(), if we did
load some binaries via metadata in the core file, don't
then search for a userland dyld in the corefile / kernel
and throw away that binary list. Also fix a little bug
with correctly recognizing corefiles using a `main bin spec`
LC_NOTE that explicitly declare that this is a userland
corefile.

LocateSymbolFileMacOSX.cpp's Symbols::DownloadObjectAndSymbolFile
clarify the comments on how the force_lookup and how the
dbgshell_command local both have the same effect.

In PlatformDarwinKernel::LoadPlatformBinaryAndSetup, don't
log a message unless we actually found a kernel fileset.

Reorganize ObjectFileMachO::LoadCoreFileImages so that it delegates
binary searching to DynamicLoader::LoadBinaryWithUUIDAndAddress and
doesn't duplicate those searches. For searches that fail, we would
perform them multiple times in both methods. When we have the
mach-o segment vmaddrs for a binary, don't let LoadBinaryWithUUIDAndAddress
load the binary first at its mach-o header address in the Target;
we'll load the segments at the correct addresses individually later
in this method.

DynamicLoaderDarwin::ImageInfo::PutToLog fix a LLDB_LOG logging
formatter.

In DynamicLoader::LoadBinaryWithUUIDAndAddress, instead of using
Target::GetOrCreateModule as a way to find a binary already registered
in lldb's global module cache (and implicitly add it to the Target
image list), use ModuleList::GetSharedModule() which only searches
the global module cache, don't add it to the Target. We may not
want to add an unstripped binary to the Target.

Add a call to Symbols::DownloadObjectAndSymbolFile() even if
"force_symbol_search" isn't set -- this will turn into a
DebugSymbols call / Spotlight search on a macOS system, which
we want.

Only set the Module's LoadAddress if the caller asked us to do that.

Recognize a platform binary in ProcessGDBRemote which determines plugins

Complete support of the binary-addresses key in the qProcessInfo packet
in ProcessGDBRemote, for detecting if one of the binaries needs to be
handled by a Platform plugin, and can be used to set the Process'
DynamicLoader plugin and the Target's Platform plugin.

Implement this method in PlatformDarwinKernel to recognize a kernel
fileset at that address, find the actual kernel address in the
fileset, set DynamicLoaderDarwinKernel and PlatformDarwinKernel
in the Process/Target; register the kernel address with the dynamic
loader so it will be loaded later during attach.

This patch only addresses the live debug scenario with a gdb remote
serial protocol connection. I'll handle corefiles in a subsequent
patch that builds on this.

[lldb] Avoid duplicate vdso modules when opening core files

When opening core files (and also in some other situations) we could end
up with two vdso modules. This could happen because the vdso module is
very special, and over the years, we have accumulated various ways to
load it.

In D10800, we added one mechanism for loading it, which took the form of
a generic load-from-memory capability. Unfortunately loading an elf file
from memory is not possible (because the loader never loads the entire
file), and our attempts to do so were causing crashes. So, in D34352, we
partially reverted D10800 and implemented a custom mechanism specific to
the vdso.

Unfortunately, enough of D10800 remained such that, under the right
circumstances, it could end up loading a second (non-functional) copy of
the vdso module. This happened when the process plugin did not support
the extended MemoryRegionInfo query (added in D22219, to workaround a
different bug), which meant that the loader plugin was not able to
recognise that the linux-vdso.so.1 module (this is how the loader calls
it) is in fact the same as the [vdso] module (the name used in
/proc/$PID/maps) we loaded before. This typically happened in a core
file, as they don't store this kind of information.

This patch fixes the issue by completing the revert of D10800 -- the
memory loading code is removed completely. It also reduces the scope of
the hackaround introduced in D22219 -- it isn't completely sound and is
only relevant for fairly old (but still supported) versions of android.

I added the memory loading logic to the wasm dynamic loader, which has
since appeared and is relying on this feature (it even has a test). As
far as I can tell loading wasm modules from memory is possible and
reliable. MachO memory loading is not affected by this patch, as it uses
a completely different code path.

Since the scenarios/patches I described came without test cases, I have
created two new gdb-client tests cases for them. They're not
particularly readable, but right now, this is the best way we can
simulate the behavior (bugs) of a particular dynamic linker.

[lldb][NFC] Fix all formatting errors in .cpp file headers

Summary:
A *.cpp file header in LLDB (and in LLDB) should like this:
```
//===-- TestUtilities.cpp -------------------------------------------------===//
```
However in LLDB most of our source files have arbitrary changes to this format and
these changes are spreading through LLDB as folks usually just use the existing
source files as templates for their new files (most notably the unnecessary
editor language indicator `-*- C++ -*-` is spreading and in every review
someone is pointing out that this is wrong, resulting in people pointing out that this
is done in the same way in other files).

This patch removes most of these inconsistencies including the editor language indicators,
all the different missing/additional '-' characters, files that center the file name, missing
trailing `===//` (mostly caused by clang-format breaking the line).

[NFC] Remove ASCII lines from comments

A lot of comments in LLDB are surrounded by an ASCII line to delimit the
begging and end of the comment.

Its use is not really consistent across the code base, sometimes the
lines are longer, sometimes they are shorter and sometimes they are
omitted. Furthermore, it looks kind of weird with the 80 column limit,
where the comment actually extends past the line, but not by much.
Furthermore, when /// is used for Doxygen comments, it looks
particularly odd. And when // is used, it incorrectly gives the
impression that it's actually a Doxygen comment.

I assume these lines were added to improve distinguishing between
comments and code. However, given that todays editors and IDEs do a
great job at highlighting comments, I think it's worth to drop this for
the sake of consistency. The alternative is fixing all the
inconsistencies, which would create a lot more churn.
