This improves this test a lot because before when using the "attachCommands" to run the following commands:
(lldb) target create -d /path/to/a.out
(lldb) process launch
This was racy as it wasn't stopping the program at the entry point, and the process might run to completion before we can even debug it. With the recent changes to the "attachCommands" we were waiting for the process to stop, but the process might be exited already, and that _should_ have caused the attach to fail since there was no process to attach to. By adding "--stop-at-entry" to the process launch, we ensure this should be less racy and give us a valid process to attach to.
This is a modified version of a previous patch that was reverted: https://reviews.llvm.org/D119797
This version only waits for the process to stop when using "launchCommands" or "attachCommands"...
...and doesn't play with the async mode when doing normal launch/attach.
We discovered that when using "launchCommands" or "attachCommands" that there was an issue where these commands were not being run synchronously. There were further problems in this case where we would get thread events for the process that was just launched or attached before the IDE was ready, which is after "configurationDone" was sent to lldb-vscode.
This fix introduces the ability to wait for the process to stop after "launchCommands" or "attachCommands" are run to ensure that we have a stopped process point that is ready for the debug session to proceed. We spin up the thread that listens for process events before we start the launch or attach, but we don't want stop events being delivered through the DAP protocol until the "configurationDone" packet is received. We now always ignore the stop event with a stop ID of 1, which is the first stop. All normal launch and attach scenarios use the synchronous mode, and "launchCommands and "attachCommands" run an array of LLDB commands in async mode.
This should make our launch with "launchCommands" and attach with "attachCommands" avoid a race condition when the process is being launched or attached.

The race is between these two pieces of code that are executed in two separate
lldb-vscode threads (the first is in the main thread and another is in the
event-handling thread):
```
// lldb-vscode.cpp
g_vsc.debugger.SetAsync(false);
g_vsc.target.Launch(launch_info, error);
g_vsc.debugger.SetAsync(true);
```
```
// Target.cpp
bool old_async = debugger.GetAsyncExecution();
debugger.SetAsyncExecution(true);
debugger.GetCommandInterpreter().HandleCommands(GetCommands(), exc_ctx,
options, result);
debugger.SetAsyncExecution(old_async);
```
The sequence that leads to the bug is this one:
1. Main thread enables synchronous mode and launches the process.
2. When the process is launched, it generates the first stop event.
3. This stop event is catched by the event-handling thread and DoOnRemoval
is invoked.
4. Inside DoOnRemoval, this thread runs stop hooks. And before running stop
hooks, the current synchronization mode is stored into old_async (and
right now it is equal to "false").
5. The main thread finishes the launch and returns to lldb-vscode, the
synchronization mode is restored to asynchronous by lldb-vscode.
6. Event-handling thread finishes stop hooks processing and restores the
synchronization mode according to old_async (i.e. makes the mode synchronous)
7. And now the mode is synchronous while lldb-vscode expects it to be
asynchronous. Synchronous mode forbids the process to broadcast public stop
events, so, VS Code just hangs because lldb-vscode doesn't notify it about
stops.
So, this diff makes the target intercept the first stop event if the process is
launched in the synchronous mode, thus preventing stop hooks execution.
The bug is only present on Windows because other platforms already
intercept this event using their own hijacking listeners.
So, this diff also fixes some problems with lldb-vscode tests on Windows to make
it possible to run the related test. Other tests still can't be enabled because
the debugged program prints something into stdout and LLDB can't intercept this
output and redirect it to lldb-vscode properly.

This fix introduces the ability to wait for the process to stop after the run or attach to ensure that we have a stopped process at the entry point that is ready for the debug session to proceed. This also allows us to run the normal launch or attach without needing to play with the async flag the debugger. We spin up the thread that listens for process events before we start the launch or attach, but we stop the first eStateStopped (with stop ID of zero) event from being delivered through the DAP protocol because the "configurationDone" request handler will deliver it manually as the IDE expects a stop after configuration done. The request_configurationDone will also only deliver the stop packet if the "stopOnEntry" is False in the launch configuration.
Also added a new "timeout" to the launch and attach launch configuration arguments that can be set and defaults to 30 seconds. Since we now poll to detect when the process is stopped, we need a timeout that can be changed in case certain workflows take longer that 30 seconds to attach. If the process is not stopped by the timeout, an error will be retured for the launch or attach.
Added a flag to the vscode.py protocol classes that detects and ensures that no "stopped" events are sent prior to "configurationDone" has been sent and will raise an error if it does happen.
This should make our launching and attaching more reliable and avoid some deadlocks that were being seen (https://reviews.llvm.org/D119548).

After 9611282c, TestGdbRemoteThreadsInStopReply is not non-deterministic
-- instead it deterministically fails due to extra threads created by
std::thread thread pool.
Adjust the tests to account for that.
The tests enabled in 9e699595 are not passing reliably -- sometimes they
report seeing fewer threads than expected.
Based on my (limited) research, this is not a lldb bug, but simply a
consequence of the operating system reporting their presence
asynchronously -- they're reported when they are scheduled to run (or
something similar), and not at the time of the CreateThread call.
To fix this, I add some additional synchronization to the test inferior,
which makes sure that the created thread is alive before continuing to
do other things.
D119167 changed the meaning of that test by removing the use of the
interrupt packet. I did not notice this because the interrupting
happened in a shared utility function.
This patch restores the original meaning of the test, but (almost)
avoids sleeps by using process stdout to synchronize. Sadly, this means
the test stays disabled on windows, as it does not implement output
forwarding.
A couple of additional tests pass with that patch. One new test fails
(because it's not testing a slightly different thing). I'll update it
later to restore the original meaning (I don't want to revert as the net
effect is still very positive), but for now this gets the bot green.
Instead of using sleeps, have the inferior notify us (via a trap opcode) that
the requested number of threads have been created.
This allows us to get rid of some fairly dodgy test utility code --
wait_for_thread_count seemed like it was waiting for the threads to
appear, but it never actually let the inferior run, so it only succeeded
if the threads were already started when the function was called. Since
the function was called after a fairly small delay (1s, usually), this
is probably the reason why the tests were failing on some bots.

The lldb-server code is currently set up in a way that each
NativeProcess instance does its own waitpid handling. This works fine
for BSDs, where the code can do a waitpid(process_id), and get
information for all threads in that process.
The situation is trickier on linux, because waitpid(pid) will only
return information for the main thread of the process (one whose tid ==
pid). For this reason the linux code does a waitpid(-1), to get
information for all threads. This was fine while we were supporting just
a single process, but becomes a problem when we have multiple processes
as they end up stealing each others events.
There are two possible solutions to this problem:
- call waitpid(-1) centrally, and then dispatch the events to the
appropriate process
- have each process call waitpid(tid) for all the threads it manages
This patch implements the second approach. Besides fitting better into
the existing design, it also has the added benefit of ensuring
predictable ordering for thread/process creation events (which come in
pairs -- one for the parent and one for the child). The first approach
OTOH, would make this ordering even more complicated since we would
have to keep the half-threads hanging in mid-air until we find the
process we should attach them to.
The downside to this approach is an increased number of syscalls (one
waitpid for each thread), but I think we're pretty far from optimizing
things like this, and so the cleanliness of the design is worth it.
The included test reproduces the circumstances which should demonstrate
the bug (which manifests as a hung test), but I have not been able to
get it to fail. The only place I've seen this failure modes are very
rare hangs in the thread sanitizer tests (tsan forks an addr2line
process to produce its error messages).

Unify the listen and connect code inside lldb-server to use
ConnectionFileDescriptor uniformly rather than a mix of it and Acceptor.
This involves:
- adding a function to map legacy values of host:port parameter
(including legacy server URLs) into CFD-style URLs
- adding a callback to return "local socket id" (i.e. UNIX socket path
or TCP port number) between listen() and accept() calls in CFD
- adding a "unix-abstract-accept" scheme to CFD
As an additional advantage, this permits lldb-server to accept any URL
known to CFD including the new serial:// scheme. Effectively,
lldb-server can now listen on the serial port. Tests for connecting
over a pty are added to test that.

Based on post-commit review discussion on
2bd8493847 with Richard Smith.
Other uses of forcing HasEmptyPlaceHolder to false seem OK to me -
they're all around pointer/reference types where the pointer/reference
token will appear at the rightmost side of the left side of the type
name, so they make nested types (eg: the "int" in "int *") behave as
though there is a non-empty placeholder (because the "*" is essentially
the placeholder as far as the "int" is concerned).
This was originally committed in 277623f4d5
Reverted in f9ad1d1c77 due to breakages
outside of clang - lldb seems to have some strange/strong dependence on
"char [N]" versus "char[N]" when printing strings (not due to that name
appearing in DWARF, but probably due to using clang to stringify type
names) that'll need to be addressed, plus a few other odds and ends in
other subprojects (clang-tools-extra, compiler-rt, etc).
These tests fail every 10 or so runs on Windows causing both local failures as well as buildbot failures.

The thread that Visual Studio Code displays on a stop is called the focus thread. When the previous focus thread exits and we stop in a new thread, lldb-vscode does not tell vscode to set the new thread as the focus thread, so it selects the first thread in the thread list.
