Make sure that `process` is not None before calling is_alive. Otherwise
this might result in an AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no
attribute 'is_alive'.
Although lldb.process and friends could already be None in the past, for
example after leaving an interactive scripting session, the issue became
more prevalent after `fc1fd6bf9fcfac412b10b4193805ec5de0e8df57`.
I audited the other interface files for usages of target, process,
thread and frame, but this seems the only place where a global is used
from an SB class.
Some tests set settings and don't clean them up, this leads to side effects in other tests.
The patch removes a global debugger instance with a per-test debugger to avoid such effects.
From what I see, lldb.DBG was needed to determine the platform before a test is run,
lldb.selected_platform is used for this purpose now. Though, this required adding a new function
to the SBPlatform interface.

This patch moves the SB API method GetExtendedCrashInformation from
SBTarget to SBProcess since it only makes sense to call this method on a
sane process which might not be the case on a SBTarget object.
It also addresses some feedbacks received after landing the first patch
for the 'crash-info' feature.

Currently, in macOS, when a process crashes, lldb halts inside the
implementation disassembly without yielding any useful information.
The only way to get more information is to detach from the process, then wait
for ReportCrash to generate a report, find the report, then see what error
message was included in it. Instead of waiting for this to happen, lldb could
locate the error_string and make it available to the user.
This patch addresses this issue by enabling the user to fetch extended
crash information for crashed processes using `process status --verbose`.
Depending on the platform, this will try to gather different crash information
into an structured data dictionnary. This dictionnary is generic and extensible,
as it contains an array for each different type of crash information.
On Darwin Platforms, lldb will iterate over each of the target's images,
extract their `__crash_info` section and generated a StructuredData::Array
containing, in each entry, the module spec, its UUID, the crash messages
and the abort cause. The array will be inserted into the platform's
`m_extended_crash_info` dictionnary and `FetchExtendedCrashInformation` will
return its JSON representation like this:
```
{
"crash-info annotations": [
{
"abort-cause": 0,
"image": "/usr/lib/system/libsystem_malloc.dylib",
"message": "main(76483,0x1000cedc0) malloc: *** error for object 0x1003040a0: pointer being freed was not allocated",
"message2": "",
"uuid": "5747D0C9-900D-3306-8D70-1E2EA4B7E821"
},
...
],
...
}
```
This crash information can also be fetched using the SB API or lldb-rpc protocol
using SBTarget::GetExtendedCrashInformation().

Summary:
`SBThread.GetStopDescription` is a curious API as it takes a buffer length as a parameter that specifies
how many bytes the buffer we pass has. Then we fill the buffer until the specified length (or the length
of the stop description string) and return the string length. If the buffer is a nullptr however, we instead
return how many bytes we would have written to the buffer so that the user can allocate a buffer with
the right size and pass that size to a subsequent `SBThread.GetStopDescription` call.
Funnily enough, it is not possible to pass a nullptr via the Python SWIG bindings, so that might be the
first API in LLDB that is not only hard to use correctly but impossible to use correctly. The only way to
call this function via Python is to throw in a large size limit that is hopefully large enough to contain the
stop description (otherwise we only get the truncated stop description).
Currently passing a size limit that is smaller than the returned stop description doesn't cause the
Python bindings to return the stop description but instead the truncated stop description + uninitialized characters
at the end of the string. The reason for this is that we return the result of `snprintf` from the method
which returns the amount of bytes that *would* have been written (which is larger than the buffer).
This causes our Python bindings to return a string that is as large as full stop description but the
buffer that has been filled is only as large as the passed in buffer size.
This patch fixes this issue by just recalculating the string length in our buffer instead of relying on the wrong
return value. We also have to do this in a new type map as the old type map is also used for all methods
with the given argument pair `char *dst, size_t dst_len` (e.g. SBProcess.GetSTDOUT`). These methods have
different semantics for these arguments and don't null-terminate the returned buffer (they instead return the
size in bytes) so we can't change the existing typemap without breaking them.

All the code required to generate the language bindings for Python and
Lua lives under scripts, even though the majority of this code aren't
scripts at all, and surrounded by scripts that are totally unrelated.
I've reorganized these files and moved everything related to the
language bindings into a new top-level directory named bindings. This
makes the corresponding files self contained and much more discoverable.
