Progress events internally have a completed count and a total count, which can mean that for a job with 20000 total counts, then there will be 20000 events fired. Sending all these events to the IDE can break it. For example, debugging a huge binary resulted in around 50 million messages, which rendered the IDE useless, as it was spending all of its resources simply parsing messages and updating the UI.
A way to fix this is to send unique percentage updates, which are at most 100 per job, which is not much. I was able to debug that big target and confirm that only unique percentage notifications are sent. I can't write a test for this because the current test is flaky. I'll figure out later how to make the test reliable, but fixing this will unblock us from deploy a new version of lldb-vscode.

LLDB can often appear deadlocked to users that use IDEs when it is indexing DWARF, or parsing symbol tables. These long running operations can make a debug session appear to be doing nothing even though a lot of work is going on inside LLDB. This patch adds a public API to allow clients to listen to debugger events that report progress and will allow UI to create an activity window or display that can show users what is going on and keep them informed of expensive operations that are going on inside LLDB.

@stella.stamenova found out that lldb-vscode's Win32 macros were failing
when building on windows targetings POSIX platforms.
I'm changing these macros for LLVM_ON_UNIX, which should be more
accurate.
Depends on D93874.
runInTerminal was using --wait-for, but it was some problems because it uses process polling looking for a single instance of the debuggee:
- it gets to know of the target late, which renders breakpoints in the main function almost impossible
- polling might fail if there are already other processes with the same name
- polling might also fail on some linux machine, as it's implemented with the ps command, and the ps command's args and output are not standard everywhere
As a better way to implement this so that it works well on Darwin and Linux, I'm using now the following process:
- lldb-vscode notices the runInTerminal, so it spawns lldb-vscode with a special flag --launch-target <target>. This flags tells lldb-vscode to wait to be attached and then it execs the target program. I'm using lldb-vscode itself to do this, because it makes finding the launcher program easier. Also no CMAKE INSTALL scripts are needed.
- Besides this, the debugger creates a temporary FIFO file where the launcher program will write its pid to. That way the debugger will be sure of which program to attach.
- Once attach happend, the debugger creates a second temporary file to notify the launcher program that it has been attached, so that it can then exec. I'm using this instead of using a signal or a similar mechanism because I don't want the launcher program to wait indefinitely to be attached in case the debugger crashed. That would pollute the process list with a lot of hanging processes. Instead, I'm setting a 20 seconds timeout (that's an overkill) and the launcher program seeks in intervals the second tepmorary file.
Some notes:
- I preferred not to use sockets because it requires a lot of code and I only need a pid. It would also require a lot of code when windows support is implemented.
- I didn't add Windows support, as I don't have a windows machine, but adding support for it should be easy, as the FIFO file can be implemented with a named pipe, which is standard on Windows and works pretty much the same way.
The existing test which didn't pass on Linux, now passes.

Summary:
This redoes https://reviews.llvm.org/D79726 and fixes two things.
- The logic that determines whether to automatically disconnect during the tear down is not very dumb compared to the original implementation. Each test will determine whether to do that or not.
- The terminate commands and terminate event were being sent after the disconnect response was sent to the IDE. That was not good, as VSCode stops the debug session as soon as it receives a disconnect response. Now, the terminate event and terminateEvents are being executed before the disconnect response is sent. This ensures that any connection between the IDE and lldb-vscode is alive while the terminate commands are executed. Besides, it also allows displaying the output of the terminate commands on the debug console, as it's still alive.

Summary:
Recently I've noticed that VSCode sometimes doesn't send the terminateDebuggee flag within the disconnectRequest,
even though lldb-vscode sets the terminateDebuggee capability correctly.
This has been causing that inferiors don't die after the debug session ends, and many users have reported issues because of this.
An easy way to mitigate this is to set better default values for the terminateDebuggee field in the disconnect request.
I'm assuming that for a launch request, the default will be true, and for attach it'll be false.

Those fields inside of the global variable can be local variables because
they are used in only inside of one function: request_launch for launch_info
and request_attach for attach_info.
To avoid confusion an already existing local variable attach_info of
request_attach has been renamed to better reflect its purpose.

LLDB has a few different styles of header guards and they're not very
consistent because things get moved around or copy/pasted. This patch
unifies the header guards across LLDB and converts everything to match
LLVM's style.

This commit fixes an issue with lldb-vscode failing to run programs that
use different architecture/platform than the "empty" in the target.
Original implementation was creating a default target without specifying
the target architecture, platform or program, and then would set
executable file through SBLaunchInfo, assuming that this would update
architecture and platform accordingly. However this wasn't really
happening, and architecture and platform would remain at whatever values
were in the "empty" target. The simple solution is to create target
already for a desired architecture and platform.
Function request_attach is updated in a similar fashion.
This commit also adds new JSON properties to "launch" and "attach"
packets to allow user to override desired platform and architecture.
This might be especially important for cases where information in ELF is
not enough to derive those values correctly.
New code has a behavior similar to LLDB MI [1], where typically IDE would
specify target file with -file-exec-and-symbols, and then only do -exec-run
command that would launch the process. In lldb-vscode those two actions are
merged into one request_launch function. Similarly in the interpreter
session, user would first do "file" command, then "process launch"

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.

Windows can't use standard i/o system calls such as read and write
to work with sockets, it instead needs to use the specific send
and recv calls. This complicates matters for the debug adapter,
since it needs to be able to work in both server mode where it
communicates over a socket, as well as non-server mode where it
communicates via stdin and stdout. To abstract this out, I've
introduced a class IOStream which hides all these details and
exposes a read/write interface that does the right on each
platform.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.
