[lldb] Turn lldb_private::Status into a value type. (#106163)

This patch removes all of the Set.* methods from Status.

This cleanup is part of a series of patches that make it harder use the
anti-pattern of keeping a long-lives Status object around and updating
it while dropping any errors it contains on the floor.

This patch is largely NFC, the more interesting next steps this enables
is to:
1. remove Status.Clear()
2. assert that Status::operator=() never overwrites an error
3. remove Status::operator=()

Note that step (2) will bring 90% of the benefits for users, and step
(3) will dramatically clean up the error handling code in various
places. In the end my goal is to convert all APIs that are of the form

` ResultTy DoFoo(Status& error)
`
to

` llvm::Expected<ResultTy> DoFoo()
`
How to read this patch?

The interesting changes are in Status.h and Status.cpp, all other
changes are mostly

` perl -pi -e 's/\.SetErrorString/ = Status::FromErrorString/g' $(git
grep -l SetErrorString lldb/source)
`
plus the occasional manual cleanup.

[lldb] [llgs] Send process output asynchronously in non-stop mode

Introduce a new %Stdio notification category and use it to send process
output asynchronously when running in non-stop mode. This is an LLDB
extension since GDB does not use the 'O' packet for process output,
just for replies to 'qRcmd' packets.

Using the async notification mechanism implies that only the first
output packet is sent immediately to the client. The client needs
to request subsequent notifications (if any) using the new vStdio packet
(that works pretty much like vStopped for the Stop notification queue).

The packet handler in lldb-server tests is updated to handle the async
stdio packets in addition to the regular O packets. However, due
to the implications noted above, it can only handle the first output
packet sent by the server. Subsequent packets need to be explicitly
requested via vStdio.

[lldb] [llgs] Implement the vKill packet

Implement the support for the vKill packet. This is the modern packet
used by the GDB Remote Serial Protocol to kill one of the debugged
processes. Unlike the `k` packet, it has well-defined semantics.

The `vKill` packet takes the PID of the process to kill, and always
replies with an `OK` reply (rather than the exit status, as LLGS does
for `k` packets at the moment). Additionally, unlike the `k` packet
it does not cause the connection to be terminated once the last process
is killed — the client needs to close it explicitly.

[lldb] [llgs] Implement non-stop style stop notification packets

Implement the support for %Stop asynchronous notification packet format
in LLGS. This does not implement full support for non-stop mode for
threaded programs -- process plugins continue stopping all threads
on every event. However, it will be used to implement asynchronous
events in multiprocess debugging.

The non-stop protocol is enabled using QNonStop packet. When it is
enabled, the server uses notification protocol instead of regular stop
replies. Since all threads are always stopped, notifications are always
generated for all active threads and copied into stop notification
queue.

If the queue was empty, the initial asynchronous %Stop notification
is sent to the client immediately. The client needs to (eventually)
acknowledge the notification by sending the vStopped packet, in which
case it is popped from the queue and the stop reason for the next thread
is reported. This continues until notification queue is empty again,
in which case an OK reply is sent.

Asychronous notifications are also used for vAttach results and program
exits. The `?` packet uses a hybrid approach -- it returns the first
stop reason synchronously, and exposes the stop reasons for remaining
threads via vStopped queue.

The change includes a test case for a program generating a segfault
on 3 threads. The server is expected to generate a stop notification
for the segfaulting thread, along with the notifications for the other
running threads (with "no stop reason"). This verifies that the stop
reasons are correctly reported for all threads, and that notification
queue works.

Add a darwin platform setting to specify which exceptions debugserver
should not receive as exceptions (some will get converted to BSD
signals instead). This is really the only stable way to ensure that
a Mach exception gets converted to it's equivalent BSD signal. For
programs that rely on BSD signal handlers, this has to happen or you
can't even get the program to invoke the signal handler when under
the debugger.

This builds on a previous solution to this problem which required you
start debugserver with the -U flag. This was not very discoverable
and required lldb be the one to launch debugserver, which is not always
the case.

Implement the simpler vRun packet and prefer it over the A packet.
Unlike the latter, it tranmits command-line arguments without redundant

Make qLaunchSuccess not obligatory when using vRun. It is not
implemented by gdbserver, and since vRun returns the stop reason,
we can assume it to be successful.

Protocol-wise, a new qSaveCore packet is introduced. It accepts zero
or more semicolon-separated key:value options, invokes the core dump
and returns a key:value response. Currently the only option supported
is "path-hint", and the return value contains the "path" actually used.

[lldb][AArch64] Add memory tag writing to lldb-server

[lldb][AArch64] Add memory tag writing to lldb-server

This is implemented using the QMemTags packet, as specified
by GDB in:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/General-Query-Packets.html#General-Query-Packets

(recall that qMemTags was previously added to read tags)

On receipt of a valid packet lldb-server will:
* align the given address and length to granules
(most of the time lldb will have already done this
but the specification doesn't guarantee it)
* Repeat the supplied tags as many times as needed to cover
the range. (if tags > range we just use as many as needed)
* Call ptrace POKEMTETAGS to write the tags.

The ptrace step will loop just like the tag read does,
until all tags are written or we get an error.
Meaning that if ptrace succeeds it could be a partial write.
So we call it again and if we then get an error, return an error to
lldb.

We are not going to attempt to restore tags after a partial
write followed by an error. This matches the behaviour of the
existing memory writes.

The lldb-server tests have been extended to include read and
write in the same test file. With some updated function names
since "qMemTags" vs "QMemTags" isn't very clear when they're
next to each other.

[lldb][AArch64] Add memory tag reading to lldb-server

This adds memory tag reading using the new "qMemTags"
packet and ptrace on AArch64 Linux.

This new packet is following the one used by GDB.
(https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/General-Query-Packets.html)

On AArch64 Linux we use ptrace's PEEKMTETAGS to read
tags and we assume that lldb has already checked that the
memory region actually has tagging enabled.

We do not assume that lldb has expanded the requested range
to granules and expand it again to be sure.
(although lldb will be sending aligned ranges because it happens
to need them client side anyway)
Also we don't assume untagged addresses. So for AArch64 we'll
remove the top byte before using them. (the top byte includes
MTE and other non address data)

To do the ptrace read NativeProcessLinux will ask the native
register context for a memory tag manager based on the
type in the packet. This also gives you the ptrace numbers you need.
(it's called a register context but it also has non register data,
so it saves adding another per platform sub class)

The only supported platform for this is AArch64 Linux and the only
supported tag type is MTE allocation tags. Anything else will
error.

Ptrace can return a partial result but for lldb-server we will
be treating that as an error. To succeed we need to get all the tags
we expect.

(Note that the protocol leaves room for logical tags to be
read via qMemTags but this is not going to be implemented for lldb
at this time.)

[trace][intel-pt] Implement trace start and trace stop

This implements the interactive trace start and stop methods.

This diff ended up being much larger than I anticipated because, by doing it, I found that I had implemented in the beginning many things in a non optimal way. In any case, the code is much better now.

There's a lot of boilerplate code due to the gdb-remote protocol, but the main changes are:

- New tracing packets: jLLDBTraceStop, jLLDBTraceStart, jLLDBTraceGetBinaryData. The gdb-remote packet definitions are quite comprehensive.
- Implementation of the "process trace start|stop" and "thread trace start|stop" commands.
- Implementaiton of an API in Trace.h to interact with live traces.
- Created an IntelPTDecoder for live threads, that use the debugger's stop id as checkpoint for its internal cache.
- Added a functionality to stop the process in case "process tracing" is enabled and a new thread can't traced.
- Added tests

I have some ideas to unify the code paths for post mortem and live threads, but I'll do that in another diff.

The goal of this packet (jTraceGetSupportedType) is to be able to query the gdb-server for the tracing technology that can work for the current debuggeer, which can make the user experience simpler but allowing the user to simply type

to start tracing the current thread without even telling the debugger to use "intel-pt", for example. Similarly, `thread trace start [args...]` would accept args beloging to the working trace type.

Also, if the user typed

help thread trace start

We could directly show the help information of the trace type that is supported for the target, or mention instead that no tracing is supported, if that's the case.

I added some simple tests, besides, when I ran this on my machine with intel-pt support, I got

[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).

Create a generic handler for Xfer packets

Summary:
This is the first of a few patches I have to improve the performance of dynamic module loading on Android.

In this first diff I'll describe the context of my main motivation and will then link to it in the other diffs to avoid repeating myself.

## Motivation
I have a few scenarios where opening a specific feature on an Android app takes around 40s when lldb is attached to it. The reason for that is because 40 modules are dynamicly loaded at that point in time and each one of them is taking ~1s.

## The problem
To learn about new modules we have a breakpoint on a linker function that is called twice whenever a module is loaded. One time just before it's loaded (so lldb can check which modules are loaded) and another right after it's loaded (so lldb can check again which ones are loaded and calculate the diference).
It's figuring out which modules are loaded that is taking quite some time. This is currently done by traversing the linked list of loaded shared libraries that the linker maintains in memory. Each item in the linked list requires its own `x` packet sent to the gdb server (this is android so the network also plays a part). In my scenario there are 400+ loaded libraries and even though we read 0x800 worth of bytes at a time we still make ~180 requests that end up taking 150-200ms.
We also do this twice, once before the module is loaded (state = eAdd) and another right after (state = eConsistent) which easly adds up to ~400ms per module.

## A solution

**Implement `xfer:libraries-svr4` in lldb-server:**
I noticed in the code that loads the new modules that it had support for the `xfer:libraries-svr4` packet (added ~4 years ago to support the ds2 debug server) but we didn't support it in lldb-server. This single packet returns an xml list of all the loaded modules by the process. The advantage is that there's no more need to make 180 requests to read the linked list. Additionally this new requests takes around 10ms.

**More efficient usage of the `xfer:libraries-svr4` packet in lldb:**
When `xfer:libraries-svr4` is available the Process class has a `LoadModules` function that requests this packet and then loads or unloads modules based on the current list of loaded modules by the process.
This is the function that is used by the DYLDRendezvous class to get the list of loaded modules before and after the module is loaded. However, this is really not needed since the LoadModules function already loaded or unloaded the modules accordingly. I changed this strategy to call LoadModules only once (after the process has loaded the module).

**Bugs**
I found a few issues in lldb while implementing this and have submitted independent patches for them.

I tried to devide this into multiple logical patches to make it easier to review and discuss.

## Tests

I wanted to put these set of diffs up before having all the tests up and running to start having them reviewed from a techical point of view. I'm also having some trouble making the tests running on linux so I need more time to make that happen.

# This diff

The `xfer` packages follow the same protocol, they are requested with `xfer:<object>:<read|write>:<annex>:<offset,length>` and a return that starts with `l` or `m` depending if the offset and length covers the entire data or not. Before implementing the `xfer:libraries-svr4` I refactored the `xfer:auxv` to generically handle xfer packets so we can easly add new ones.

The overall structure of the function ends up being:
* Parse the packet into its components: object, offset etc.
* Depending on the object do its own logic to generate the data.
* Return the data based on its size, the requested offset and length.
