lldb_private::DataExtractor contains DataBufferSP m_data_sp which is
relatively expensive to copy (due to multi-threading locking).
llvm::DataExtractor does not have this problem as it uses StringRef
instead.
The copy constructor is explicit as otherwise it is easy to make
unintended modification of a local copy instead of a caller's instance
(D107470 but that is llvm::DataExtractor).

Support printing strings which contain invalid utf8 sub-sequences, e.g.
strings like "hello world \xfe", instead of bailing out with "Summary
Unavailable".
I took the opportunity here to delete some hand-rolled utf8 -> utf32
conversion code and replace it with calls into llvm's Support library.

Summary:
Languages can have different ways of formatting special characters.
E.g. when debugging C++ code a string might look like "\b", but when
debugging Swift code the same string would look like "\u{8}".
To make this work, plugins override GetStringPrinterEscapingHelper.
However, because there's a large amount of subtly divergent work done in
each override, we end up with large amounts of duplicated code. And all
the memory smashers fixed in one copy of the logic (see D73860) don't
get fixed in the others.
IMO the GetStringPrinterEscapingHelper is overly general and hard to
use. I propose deleting it and replacing it with an EscapeStyle enum,
which can be set as needed by each plugin.
A fix for some swift-lldb memory smashers falls out fairly naturally
from this deletion (https://github.com/apple/llvm-project/pull/1046). As
the swift logic becomes really tiny, I propose moving it upstream as
part of this change. I've added unit tests to cover it.
